Trieste (TS) – Porto Vivo’s Warehouse 18

Real estate property for warehouse use, known as "Warehouse 18", 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, built in 1893, is divided into four levels above ground. 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 property covers an area of approximately 10,000 sqm. The building has a rectangular layout and is divided into four floors above ground, with a height of approximately 15.6 m. Partially occupied in recent times by the Istrian Association, some of its premises have been disused for some time, which are in a very bad state of conservation and require significant redevelopment. In the ground floor, the building is made with thick sandstone load-bearing walls, while the upper floors are characterized by the residual presence of plaster and sometimes brick walls. The vertical structures, including the internal divisions, are made up of sandstone boulders and brick walls, with cast iron columns whose thickness becomes thinner the higher they go. The western elevation is characterized by the presence of external balconies, but the metal structures, columns, beams and handrails, exposed to atmospheric agents, are heavily damaged. The vertical connection system consists of two non-functioning freight elevators and a stairwell, located in the middle of the building, made with stone slabs supported by an iron structure, in a poor state of repair. The roof of the attic consists of two reinforced concrete slabs arranged on two slopes.

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.
