Trieste (TS) – Porto Vivo’s Warehouse 16

Real estate property for warehouse use, known as "Warehouse 16", 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 fairly good general maintenance conditions, with some heavily degraded areas. The building must be redeveloped, in harmony with the area, to accommodate commercial, tertiary and residential functions.

Warehouse 16 is divided into three distinct buildings, differing from each other in terms of building type, function and date of construction:

  • The Shed: built in the 1980s on the foundations of one of the oldest warehouses, of which only 2.5 m of the original sandstone perimeter structure remains; the rest of the vertical structures, both internal and external, are in bricks. A small two-story structure intended for office use can be found at the entrance. A metal staircase, in good maintenance conditions, joins the ground floor with the mezzanine floor room located above the services; the building has a variable height between 5.8 and 9.9 m and is in a sufficient state of conservation.
  • The Building Warehouse: on two levels, with a rectangular layout, this building made of partially-plastered sandstone and bricks with a connecting stairwell in fair condition; the inter-floor attic is in bricks and mortar, plastered on the bottom part and finished with linoleum on the first floor. The roof has a wooden structure covered by a false ceiling in metal slats, highly degraded in many areas. Damaged by a fire on the upper floor, the state of conservation is very bad.
  • Between these two buildings, a small brick warehouse with a tiled wooden roof can be found, built in 1961 for the storage of building materials and currently unusable.

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.
