Property & planning
Whole-site control, current planning instruments and the lawful redevelopment envelope are core diligence workstreams.
ELITE / SAN GIULIANO MILANESE
An established place.
A new infrastructure purpose.
A proposed data centre redevelopment at Via Leone Tolstoj 86, in the southeast Milan metropolitan area. A project shaped by location, infrastructure and the requirements of its future operator.

DevelopmentProposed brownfield redevelopment
Approximate areas and project particulars are subject to verification. The 70 MW figure is requested grid connection capacity, not secured electricity or confirmed IT capacity.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Regeneration
with a clear purpose.
The working development direction is demolition and reconstruction of an existing property complex, subject to property control, planning rights and technical feasibility.
A new layout can be evaluated around data halls, electrical systems, cooling, backup generation, access and supporting infrastructure. The final scheme should follow a coordinated site masterplan and a defined operator brief.
Existing gross building area is not treated as an automatic redevelopment entitlement. The lawful building envelope and any replacement floor area require reconciliation with the relevant titles and current planning instruments.

The starting point. Clearly defined.
| Parameter | Current project information | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Project address | Via Leone Tolstoj 86, San Giuliano Milanese, Lombardy, Italy | Reported project location |
| Land area | Approximately 21,235 m² / 2.1235 hectares | Subject to survey and title reconciliation |
| Existing footprint | Approximately 5,500 m² | Reported existing building footprint |
| Development approach | Demolition and reconstruction under evaluation | Subject to control, planning and feasibility |
| Requested grid capacity | 70 MW | Grid import request; not IT load or energised capacity |
| Potential initial phase | 30–35 MW import concept | Separate supply feasibility and confirmation required |
| IT capacity and PUE | To be established through technical design | No adopted performance or capacity commitment |
| Service availability | Programme to be defined | No committed energisation or ready-for-service date |
PROJECT STATUS
A development opportunity.
A disciplined path forward.
Power connection
A 70 MW high-voltage connection application and an associated technical solution are reported. Acceptance, obligations and deliverability require current confirmation.
Design & delivery
Capacity, cooling, resilience, cost, phasing and delivery are to be developed with the prospective operator and specialist team.
MASTERPLAN PRIORITIES
Every system.
One coordinated site.
The reported land area alone does not establish fit for the headline connection request. A dimensioned masterplan is the essential next step.
- 01
Data halls and logistics
Hall arrangement, circulation, equipment replacement and delivery routes.
- 02
Electrical infrastructure
High-voltage interface, transformers, switchgear, UPS and backup plant.
- 03
Cooling and heat export
Equipment space, operating conditions, water strategy and feasible recovery.
- 04
Site and environmental interfaces
Access, setbacks, aviation constraints, noise, ground conditions and drainage.
PROJECT QUESTIONS
A closer look.
Is 70 MW already available?
No. The figure describes requested grid connection capacity. It does not represent currently available electricity, confirmed critical IT load or a contractual service date.
Is the existing building being converted?
Demolition and reconstruction is the current working direction. Final decisions depend on feasibility, planning rights, control of the relevant property and the operator’s requirements.
Is an initial 35 MW phase confirmed?
An initial 30–35 MW supply is a potential phasing concept. Separate network feasibility and written confirmation are needed before it becomes a delivery commitment.
Is the project permitted or certified?
The public information describes a development opportunity. It does not represent a fully approved design, a ready-to-build scheme or an awarded Tier certification.
How can a partner evaluate the opportunity?
Contact ELITE with your organisation, intended role, capacity requirements and timing. Relevant supporting information can be discussed through an agreed diligence and disclosure process.
