Trieste (TS) – Porto Vivo’s “Edificio 9”

Real estate property for storage/warehouse use, known as "Edificio 9", located in the centre of Trieste, in the Porto Vecchio area, a district that once housed the city's port and its infrastructure, and which today is in a state of decay. The building, which is spread over 3 floors above ground, was built in 1891. The building, which has not been used for some time, is in fairly good general maintenance conditions, with some highly degraded areas. The historic building must be redeveloped, in harmony with the area, to accommodate commercial, tertiary and residential functions.

Risk profile

The building has a trapezoidal layout and is divided into three aboveground floors. Internally, the spaces are defined by a grid of columns and pillars interrupted by spine walls, with corridors for the horizontal transit of goods and people, and with a fire wall function. The vertical structures are made of sandstone blocks while the floors are in reinforced concrete. The three avant-corps, in the centre and at the ends of the building, have stone stairs, freight elevators and service rooms. On the side of the internal road, the three buildings are connected to the first floor by a balcony, while on the upper level a sheet metal canopy with a metal parapet can be found. On the ground floor, the numerous wooden doors are surrounded by segmental arch frames and limestone keystones; some openings are closed by metal shutters. On the upper floors there are paired rectangular windows.

The state of conservation of the structure and of the floors is good, while the finishes, balconies and windows are seriously degraded due to rainwater infiltration, the action of atmospheric agents and the lack of ordinary and extraordinary maintenance over time. There is no appreciable foundational subsidence.

The Porto Vecchio area is located in the central area of Trieste (population 198,417), and extends along the coastal strip between the town of Barcola and the Canale di Ponterosso (heart of the city); it is delimited by Viale Miramare and by the district of the central railway station, occupying an area of approximately 67 hectares. The port structures include five piers, four parallel and one oblique, forming as many basins, and approximately 3 km of quays. The settlement of Porto Vecchio is protected from the waters of the Adriatic by a 20-metre-wide breakwater which runs parallel to the quays for about 1 km, at a distance of about 130 meters from them. The depths of the port basin have a variable depth, with a maximum of 18 metres.
The construction of the historic buildings of Porto Vecchio took place in a period of time between the end of the 1800s and the early 1900s: their use was for the storage, conservation and parking of goods, from their arrival in the port to shipment and distribution to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Starting from the 1970s, there has been a progressive abandonment of the historic warehouses, as the main port activities have been transferred to the New Port, causing their slow degradation. The property is located about 300 meters from the “Trieste Centrale” railway station (3-5 minutes on foot), while the city centre is about 750 meters from the area (10 minutes on foot).
