The upcoming 30,140sq ft complex will be located at the heart of Milan’s Golden Triangle luxury shopping district and is due to open on 1 December.
Hosting a luxury Portrait hotel, retail spaces and restaurants overlooking the colonnaded courtyard that connects Corso Venezia with nearby Via Sant’Andrea, the complex which is now controlled by the Ferragamo family used to be a former archbishop’s seminary until 2002, but also a library, prison and hospital across the centuries.
The complex’s ground floor overlooking the courtyard is to welcome retail and dining spaces – including a casual and fine dining restaurant as part of the hotel. Taking over the courtyard’s entire west wing, hip Milan retailer Antonia is opening its second Milan outpost inside the Portrait complex, with around 8,000sq ft in retail space.
The concept store is set to carry a mix of established designers and new names for men and women, five branded concept corners in rotation and a sneaker space. The east wing will be dedicated to Beefbar’s fine dining experience, with a restaurant and cocktail bar.
