State real estate assets are a driver of development. Dal Verme: €3.89 billion in investments in 2024

"The state's real estate assets are a driver of development and innovation. The reuse of public assets is a strategic lever for creating economic, social, environmental, and cultural value." This was emphasized by Alessandra dal Verme, Director of the State Property Agency, presenting the 2025 Annual Report at Montecitorio, illustrating the path toward a regenerative valorization of public real estate assets, a lever for growth, inclusion, and development of local communities. The event took place in the Sala della Regina in Montecitorio, attended by institutions and stakeholders, Deputy Minister of Economy Maurizio Leo, and Deputy Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Fabio Rampelli.

The report notes that over the past three years, investments in state assets have grown by 144%, reaching €3.9 billion in 2024. Projects underway have increased by 11.4%, while spending on rental income and operating costs has decreased by €120 million (-11.2%). In terms of digital innovation, the State Property Agency is advancing the advanced use of Building Information Modeling (BIM), from design to execution, to optimize the entire property lifecycle.

"The new Strategic Industrial Plan projects the Agency's objectives to 2028 and envisions the continued advancement of activities in terms of sustainability, digitalization, and innovation, with the strengthening of public property reuse initiatives, close collaboration with local authorities, and market-driven development initiatives," emphasizes Alessandra dal Verme, head of the State Property Agency. She emphasizes that "the reuse of public property, the network of expertise, technological innovation, and the participation of local authorities and private investors guide the Agency's actions. Our mission is to manage the state's real estate assets, revitalize them in an innovative way suited to the changing context of cities, and thus offer useful, accessible, and sustainable spaces," dal Verme explains. The state's real estate assets, she concludes, "are being reused to become a development tool, to provide solutions to the city's new needs and to attract young people through technology and digitalization."

The interventions have shown significant results in terms of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), i.e., actions and policies adopted to integrate environmental, social, and governance criteria into the strategy, balancing financial performance with a positive impact on the planet and society. Primary energy consumption has decreased by 69% compared to pre-intervention levels, there has been no increase in land use, and 47% of the affected surface area is now permeable. Furthermore, 85% of the interventions have redeveloped abandoned urban areas, restoring them to active community life. 57% of the operations have integrated climate change resilience and adaptation measures. 100% of the interventions were designed without land use, and 42% have adopted sustainable land recovery strategies.

The Agency's innovative model for managing public real estate assets includes close collaboration with local authorities and a strong network of universities and research centers. This approach has led to the creation of City Plans for public buildings: 24 City Plans already underway throughout Italy, with another 65 to be signed by 2028. These plans are a way to better plan the urban reuse of properties, consistent with local development objectives. Each plan begins with a context analysis to address new demographic, housing, and social needs, through three axes: urban regeneration, environmental and energy transition, and social and cultural enhancement.
