The original Il Sole 24 Ore headquarters were delivered in 2003 by RPBW. Twenty years later Monterosa 91 is a mixed-use building renovated by the workshop, with a total area of over 80,000 m²: 47,000 m² of offices and a large green space.

Being called upon to renovate a project we delivered twenty years prior is a sign that both the original design was a success and that the clients had tremendous confidence in the RPBW team

The new mixed-use complex is designed to offer multifunctional spaces for work and the neighborhood. It houses more than 12 companies and offers a wide range of services, including a nursery, a gym and a restaurant, in order to promote well-being and a concept of more flexible work. The building obtained WiredScore certification, Platinum Level.
