Gioia 22 is an iconic development located in Milan’s Porta Nuova district, contributing to the transformation of the city skyline through an avant-garde approach to innovation and sustainability. The office tower rises 26 floors above ground and extends over four underground levels, reaching a total height of 120 meters.
Designed and built to the highest international standards, the complex combines architectural quality with advanced technological solutions. Structurally, the building is made of in-situ reinforced concrete with post-tensioned slabs, optimizing material use while ensuring high performance. The façade features triple-glazed prefabricated panels with excellent energy efficiency, integrated with photovoltaic elements that actively contribute to the building’s energy production.
Gioia 22 stands out not only for its technical features but also for its commitment to environmental sustainability and occupant well-being. The tower has achieved LEED Platinum certification for sustainable construction, WELL Gold certification for health and comfort, and Cradle to Cradle Gold certification for responsible material selection and circular design principles.
The MEP systems reflect the same level of innovation: four-pipe active chilled beams for climate control, dual-level electrical switchboards, and intelligent LED lighting systems managed by presence and daylight sensors. These solutions ensure optimal environmental performance while providing comfort and operational flexibility.
Today, Gioia 22 houses the headquarters of Isybank, the digital bank of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group. The tower also incorporates sustainable mobility infrastructure, promoting low-impact transportation options within one of Milan’s most dynamic urban contexts. The result is a next-generation workplace that integrates environmental quality, energy efficiency, and human-centered design — an exemplary model for future developments in Milan.
