Trieste (TS) – Porto Vivo’s Warehouse 32

Real estate property for warehouse use, known as "Warehouse 32", located 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 the early 1900s, is on one level. The building, which has not been used for some time, is in mediocre general maintenance conditions, with some highly degraded areas. The historic building needs to be redeveloped, in harmony with the area, to host play/sports areas, green areas and open-air events/shows.

Warehouse 32, located in a privileged position, near the sea and the shoreline, was built in stone masonry, with the exception of the solid brick addition built on the south-eastern front. The property occupies a covered area of approximately 952 sqm, with a maximum height of 7.25 m at the top of the pitched roof supported by metal structure trusses and a total usable volume of about 6741 cubic meters. On the eastern elevation, a single-floor addition made of brick and stone masonry built prior to 1920 can be found, contiguous and against Warehouse 32, with a height of approximately 4 m. The wooden roof is almost entirely collapsed. A further single-floor addition with metal windows and plastered concrete structure can be found near the north-western elevation. With no internal flooring (now reduced to a layer of earth and crushed stone), the building is characterized by a sandstone masonry structure with a façade punctuated by holes/portals framed in white stone, to underline its function as a warehouse. The inside of the building is inaccessible.

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 very close to 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).
