CityLife: One Year After Construction Began, the Top Floor of the PwC Tower Is Now Complete

Exactly one year after work began on the site, the event was attended by Giovanni Andrea Toselli, CEO of PwC Italy; Gabriele Galateri di Genola, Chairman of Assicurazioni Generali; Armando Borghi, CEO of CityLife; and Aldo Mazzocco, CEO of Generali Real Estate SpA and Chairman of CityLife.

Nicknamed “the Curved One”, the PwC Tower is the third skyscraper to rise at the heart of the CityLife Business & Shopping District, standing alongside the Generali Tower by Zaha Hadid and the Allianz Tower by Arata Isozaki with Andrea Maffei.

Over the past year, more than 2,200 workers have contributed to the tower’s construction. The PwC Tower will be distinguished by its crown-like summit—a glass dome over 30 meters tall, weighing 471,000 kg, inspired by Michelangelo’s Pietà Rondanini. This architectural element is set to become a new icon on Milan’s skyline.

With 34 floors, including 28 usable office levels, and a total height of 175 meters, the PwC Tower features cutting-edge design solutions for next-generation workplaces. The building harmonizes space efficiency, environmental sustainability, and the well-being of its occupants.

Key sustainability features include high-performance glass panels on the façade, high-efficiency climate control systems, photovoltaic glass panels on the dome, and rainwater collection and recycling systems. These innovations have earned the PwC Tower a LEED™ (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) pre-certification at the GOLD level, meeting the highest international standards for environmental sustainability.

Occupants of a LEED Gold–certified building benefit from exceptional indoor air quality, natural light, and open views of the surrounding park. These and other features combine to foster a healthier, more comfortable work environment and significantly enhance the overall indoor experience for all employees.

The design of PwC’s workspaces supports a new organizational culture that places people’s experience at the center. New technologies and communication systems have been developed to make collaboration more seamless, encouraging stronger community ties and greater exchange of skills across different service lines.

Giovanni Andrea Toselli, CEO of PwC Italy, explains:
“Sustainability and innovation are the soul of our new Milan headquarters. PwC Tower was created to serve people and respect the environment—a perfect expression of the corporate culture we are committed to promoting. It is another important piece in shaping Milan’s new skyline.”

Aldo Mazzocco, CEO of Generali Real Estate and Chairman of CityLife, comments:
“The flag-raising ceremony is a celebration for everyone who contributed to reaching the ‘roof’. Now that construction has moved indoors, it will only be a matter of months before another beautiful building joins the CityLife skyline—an increasingly vital hub of Milan’s urban regeneration. A heartfelt thank-you to all the workers and crews who helped achieve this milestone on schedule.”

Armando Borghi, CEO of CityLife, adds:
“We are especially proud of this achievement, which marks not only a major step forward for the business district, but also the completion of CityLife’s central heart: Piazza Tre Torri. We are truly pleased that the Libeskind Tower has been chosen by an international leader like PwC—proof of CityLife’s growing appeal not only for families, but also for world-class businesses.”
