TO Dream, the upcoming Urban District in Turin, which represents a new concept of integrated commercial offer in an urban centrality,
is also based on the pay-off “New Living Mood”, or new vital spaces at the service of the citizen. The opening scheduled for 2022 aims to
make TO Dream a key attraction for the Piedmont Region. Being developed by Nhood, the Urban District will consist of 85,000sq m of
retail, services, hospitality, entertainment and a 45,000sq m Open Mall including the best national and international fashion, lifestyle and food
and beverage brands. Around 23,000sq will be dedicated to entertainment, hotel and gym, while 17,000sq m will play host to a large Retail
Park. All of this will be surrounded by a vast green area of more than 45,000sq m where visitors can relax, have fun and partake in sport.
IGD’s development of Livorno’s Porta a Mare Officine Storiche will utilise and rejuvenate historic dockyard buildings in the city’s harbour
area. The development has been designed as an extension of the city centre and will serve both local people and the many tourists who land
at Livorno’s port. The concept of this project is the combination of recreational and sports activities with a classic commercial retail offer.
The centre will provide a range of retail and F&B opportunities. It was important that the design of the scheme preserved the original space
and restores the structure of the historic buildings. The designs envisage a covered urban square which overlooks the waterfront.
The glazed frontage of the buildings reveals their structure while allowing large amounts of natural light to permeate the
commercial areas while providing a high degree of thermal insulation. The 15,600sq m project will feature 30
stores, 11 F&B brands, a leisure area and fitness centre and be opened next year.
