The Central Tower

October 23, 2021

In the heart of Milan, nestled between the Duomo and Piazza San Babila, The Central Tower - the new prestigious residential development, inaugurates a new trend in the real estate market.


This new project brings to light a new partnership between Milano Contract District with More + Space (for services related to home interior design), TopLife Concierge (for the typical facilities of a 5-star hotel), and Abitare Co. (a company active in the real estate brokerage sector which oversaw the promotion).


"The Central Tower represents a new housing format in the Milanese scenario, destined to mark a new trend in the residential real estate sector in Italy and conceived for both the user direct-to and for the investor, in the perspective of future short and medium-term rentals."
Lorenzo Pascucci, founder of Milan Contract District and More + Space



These are the so-called Serviced Apartments, or fully furnished apartments, available for both short rent and extended stay formulas, with typical hotel services and facilities already included in the rental price, and with the privacy that only a private residence is able to offer and guarantee.


“With the pandemic, the requests for short-term rentals have obviously stopped but with the return to normality, the dynamism we are experiencing on the purchase of investment properties is surprising. This intervention made us reflect on the specific opportunities to enhance our Interior Design Management services on developments conceived to be sold to a growing target of investors who see the brick as an income asset, especially if proposed with a constellation of innovative services ranging from the "turnkey" on the furniture, to the concierge, to the management of the tenant."
Lorenzo Pascucci



The 60 Central Tower apartments have all been designed in a careful and accurate way, starting from the study of the space up to the equipment and facilities provided in each home. The goal was to create a new model of urban living, of a high level and highly qualified. Each apartment can be called smart: demanding, selective, autonomous, competent, pragmatic, proactive, looking for experiences and quality products with new use values. An inhabitant who asks for residential spaces suitable for the new social organization of large cities: increasingly smaller private spaces, equipped with every comfort and tailored to those who live there and which, on the other hand, need / require the support of environments for use shared with collective services and functions, involving people in a relationship that becomes increasingly relational. This gives rise to a model of housing more similar to the hotel (individuality within a collective system), than to the home (individuality within a family system).



ο»Ώ"Faced with a similar layout project for the various apartments, what distinguishes the different homes is the degree of finish of the surfaces which, through the diversified use of the selected material moods, identify the design themes of the different floors.
From this perspective, the services offered by the MCD platform prove to be strategic for this new type of asset class. "On the one hand, the experience of personalization of interior projects defined with and on the needs of investors and then realized with the solutions of important design brands such as those that are part of the Milano Contract District platform", specifies Pascucci, " on the other hand, the ad hoc 'facility management' services dedicated to the post installation phase, to communicate directly with the tenant or the concierge via a dedicated web-app (Home-j) capable of managing any restoration activities and assistance for the entire period of income from the property."
