Real estate property for warehouse use, known as "Warehouse 104", located in the centre of Trieste, in the Porto Vecchio area, a district that once housed the city's port and which today is in a state of decay. The property, of historical interest, is in mediocre general maintenance conditions, with some heavily degraded areas. The property must be redeveloped in harmony with the area, to host green, recreational/sports area functions and open-air shows.
viale Miramare (porto vecchio) - 34136 Trieste (TS) The building, built in 1957, was used by the company SO.DE.VEA. as coastal storage for wines and fruit juices. The property, adjoining and annexed to Warehouse 33, is located in a privileged position, facing the sea and the shoreline. The structure, made of bricks and reinforced concrete, has been profoundly altered by subsequent demolitions and gutting. The window openings boast the typical style of the industrial warehouses of the 50s; on the ground floor the gates, partially closed with metal roller shutters, alternate with gates made for the removal of the tubs.
The building is on one level with an internal height of 8 m, and has no basements. The main elevation, parallel to the coast, presents a canopy closed with metal grates attached to the western elevation. A series of holes with windows in the shape of a grate allows the lighting of the shed from above. Of rectangular layout, the property measures 55 x 20 m, for a covered area of about 1200 sqm; the perimeter masonry is made with a mixture of perforated bricks, concrete structures and metal parts. The building is in a state of decay, without presenting elements of architectural and historical value, or of structural technology.
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 near the “Trieste Centrale” railway station and the historical centre of the city.
