Greater Rome an Lazio region to illustrate 36 real estate development projects
Italy: Greater Rome and Lazio region (Roma 01 - Palm Hall) is the name of the 800sqm pavilion dedicated to infrastructure system and major real estate development projects in the area of Rome and Lazio.
For the first time at MIPIM several public entities will join forces under the same roof: City of Rome, Chamber of Commerce of Rome, Province of Rome (in collaboration with ASP -the Development Agency for Rome's Province) and the Lazio Region (in partnership with Sviluppo Lazio - the Region of Lazio Development Agency).
Their presence at MIPIM provides a framework for 36 projects involving strategic territorial planning for the area. Furthermore the public institutions will support and optimize the participation of 15 significant private sector construction companies that operate in the Roman area and will be present at MIPIM: Acea, Acer, Alfiere, Aree Urbane, Borsa immobiliare di Roma (Real Estate Exchange of Rome), Co.Ge.San., Parsitalia Real Estate, Gruppo Scarpellini - Immobilfin, Pr.Im. Promozioni immobiliari, Pulcini Group, Intesa Sanpaolo, Seci Real Estate, Tiffany, as well as technical sponsors Haworth and iGuzzini.
Investment opportunities in the City of Rome include a variety of venues and investment types: major urban transformation projects in the city; projects related to the development of new urban poles called “centralità” where prestigious, international level functionality is incorporated into the metropolitan setting.
Alongside the “centralità” and the significant public projects like the Nuova Fiera di Roma, the Technological Park, Ostiense, Campidoglio 2 and Fonopoli, the private “centralità” will be amply illustrated: Acilia Madonnetta, Romanina, La Storta, Eur Castellaccio and others. The projects are designed by internationally renowned architects and avant-guarde technologies such as bio-architecture.
At MIPIM, the Province of Rome will illuminate the international investment community about its innovative brand of sustainable, polycentric and balanced socio-economic development on a provincial level, as represented by its PTPG (General Provincial Territorial Plan) combined with significant investment opportunities such as the integrated polyfunctional centre (Expo Provincia Capitale) for the commercial expo system; SLIM (Integrated Multi-module Logistics System) for logistics; projects from the Roman Hills Territorial Pact for hospitality and entertainment in the tourism industry; and innovative Urban recovery Projects. This system of major development works is designed to strengthen the Roman province's leadership as an investment magnet and a crossroads of European and world business.
The Lazio Region and Sviluppo Lazio will participate at MIPIM in order to direct investment to those areas of Lazio which are covered by the Structural Community Funds for Objective 2 (DOCUP 2000-2006). At the MIPIM expo, the Region will illustrate those projects that are shared between the Regional institutions and local initiative. Several projects will be presented: the new Tecnopolo Tiburtino (High-tech and Airspace investment category), 8 goods transport projects for the region (Logistics investment category), 6 tourism development initiatives and 5 projects for the development of areas available for industrial use (Industrial parks investment category).
This year's proposals will be further enhanced by a campaign aimed at streamlining project legibility. The Investing in Greater Rome and Lazio region guide will be available for investors.
It contains a map of the investment opportunities and a section that organizes the projects by investment types with schematic project descriptions. This tool assists in acquiring an overall view of what the territory has to offer. The Rome Pavilion will have a special desk to help address investors to the projects which match best with their investment needs and expectations.
