Milan, Italy
Italy declares its cadastre and its land registers public and lets anyone search them by a person's or a company's name for EUR 8 a name per district — but the free online route needs an Italian digital identity, no bulk owner file exists, and the only open price data are OMI value ranges by zone and quarterly transaction counts.

Can you find out who owns it?
Italy keeps two records, both declared public. The Catasto (Agenzia delle Entrate) describes every unit with its cadastral identifiers, category and rendita; a visura catastale names the current right-holders but is not title. The Conservatoria, now the Agenzia's Servizi di pubblicità immobiliare, holds the deeds: an ispezione ipotecaria returns every trascrizione (transfer), iscrizione (mortgage) and annotazione, and the Agenzia's own page says the registers 'sono organizzati su base personale' — the native query is a NAME, any natural or legal person, and it 'è consentito a tutti'. The statutory tariff (G.U. n. 231, 2 Oct 2024) prices it at EUR 8.00 per name or per unit per circoscrizione, tripled to EUR 24.00 for a nationwide name search, EUR 5.00 per nota (doubled to read the deed), 20% off online; a cadastral consultation at the counter is EUR 3.00 per unit. Online, visure of property you do not own and the ispezione are free — but only behind SPID, CIE or CNS, i.e. an Italian digital identity, so a foreign researcher pays at a counter or goes through an accredited Sister intermediary. There is no bulk owner download; the only open cadastral product is the CC BY 4.0 INSPIRE WMS (geometry, no names). Prices: the declared consideration of each sale (Consultazione valori immobiliari dichiarati) is viewable on a map with the unit's category, parties removed, again only behind SPID; what is open is the OMI quotation — a min/max EUR per m² by zone, a value range used for tax checks, not a price — and quarterly normalised transaction counts (NTN) for the Comune di Milano as 'MI, cap'. Milan is in the ordinary register system, not the Austrian-style sistema tavolare of Trento, Bolzano and Trieste.
Is ownership public?Public, but one paid search at a time
Cost of one title searchEUR 8.00 per name or per property unit per circoscrizione (ispezione ipotecaria), tripled to EUR 24.00 nationwide; EUR 5.00 per nota; 20% off online; counter cadastral consultation EUR 3.00 per unit; free online with SPID/CIE/CNS (G.U. n. 231, 2 Oct 2024)

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.
| Building | Use | Owner | Owner type | Last price paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UniCredit Tower (UniCredit Campus, Tower A) Piazza Gae Aulenti, Porta Nuova Garibaldi, 20154 Milano 107,340 m² net rentable (three-tower campus); Tower A 35,300 m² · 32 floors |
Office | Not established a paid title search would answer it COIMA's asset page states 'Net rentable area 107,340 sqm', 'Tower A – UniCredit Tower, 32 stories, 35,300 square meters', Tower B 22 storeys 23,200 m², Tower C 11 storeys 16,600 m², and names COIMA SGR only as 'Asset Manager' with UniCredit as main tenant. COIMA's 2019 release says Porta Nuova 'is divided into the three real estate investment funds – Porta Nuova Garibaldi, Porta Nuova Varesine and Porta Nuova Isola', promoted and managed by COIMA SGR, but no opened page assigns this tower to a fund or names the fund's investor; the Hines release that does is 403 to automation. Management is not ownership, so the owner is blank — knowable for EUR 8 by a name search. |

| Torre Diamante (Diamond Tower) Viale della Liberazione / Porta Nuova Varesine, 20124 Milano around 30,000 m² gross floor area |
Office | Porta Nuova Diamond Fund, managed by COIMA SGR, with BNP Paribas Group as co-investor COIMA release, 2 July 2026: 'The transaction was completed through the contribution of Diamante Tower – an asset valued at more than €400 million – from the Porta Nuova Varesine Fund to the Porta Nuova Diamond Fund, alongside BNP Paribas' co-investment'; 'the term of the fund owning Torre Diamante has been extended to 2048, while BNP Paribas's lease has been extended to 2038'. Kohn Pedersen Fox design, 'approximately 140 metres tall, with more than 30 above-ground floors, around 30,000 square metres of gross floor area', LEED Gold; BNP Paribas's Italian HQ since 2016. The EUR 400M is the owner's valuation, not a price, so no acquired figure is recorded. BNP's stake is not quantified. |

| Bosco Verticale Via De Castillia 11 and Via Confalonieri 6, Porta Nuova Isola, 20124 Milano 22,000 m² gross building area |
Residential | Not established a paid title search would answer it COIMA's page: two residential towers by Boeri Studio with 'more than 90 different species of trees', GBA 22,000 m², 'Best Tall Building Europe 2015'; COIMA SGR is listed as 'Asset Manager' and COIMA REM as 'Development & Property Manager'. The apartments are privately held units of a condominium: each owner is on the Catasto for EUR 3.00 at the counter and in the Conservatoria for EUR 8.00 a name, and they are private individuals, so none is published here. The pack's 'owner: COIMA' confused the developer-manager with the owners. |

| Vodafone Complex (Vodafone Village) Via Lorenteggio 240, Lorenteggio, 20147 Milano 42,039 m² net rentable |
Office | COIMA RES S.p.A. SIIQ COIMA RES's own asset page: 'Complex consisting of three buildings and entirely leased to Vodafone with long-term contract (expiring in January 2027)', 'Net rentable area (sqm) 42,039', Via Lorenteggio 240, LEED certified. COIMA RES lists seven Milan assets (Microsoft, Gioiaotto, Pavilion, Tocqueville, Corso Como Place, Vodafone Complex, Monte Rosa) plus Deutsche Bank branches. Its investor section carries the 'Total Voluntary Public Tender and Exchange Offer' made by Evergreen S.p.A. for the shares 'listed on Euronext Milan', so the SIIQ status is historic: treat it as a formerly listed company still naming its own assets in 2026. |

| Torre Generali (Hadid Tower) Piazza Tre Torri, CityLife, 20145 Milano |
Office | CityLife S.p.A. (100% Gruppo Generali) Generali Real Estate lists CityLife in its own asset portfolio: 'Covering an area of 366,000 sqm', 'the three iconic business towers designed by ... Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki, Daniel Libeskind', certifications 'Leed Platinum - Generali Tower', Business District to reach '200,000 sqm GLA' with the two Bjarke Ingels buildings. CityLife's own site states 'CityLife S.p.A. è una società controllata al 100% da Gruppo Generali' (a company 100% controlled by the Generali Group) and that it won the former Fiera site 'a seguito di un concorso internazionale'. Neither page states title to this tower in so many words — hence tier B: the project is Generali's, the tower's deed was not read. |
Public company | —B |
| Torre Allianz (Isozaki Tower) Piazza Tre Torri 3, CityLife, 20145 Milano |
Office | Not established the source would not open Generali Real Estate's CityLife page names it ('Leed Gold - Allianz Tower, PWC Tower') as one of the three towers of the CityLife Business & Shopping District; PIMCO Prime Real Estate's legal notice gives its Italy branch address as 'Piazza Tre Torri, 3 20145 Milano' and says PIMCO Prime manages 'the Allianz Group's real estate mandate'. That is occupancy and management, not title. Every Allianz page that would state ownership (allianz.it/chi-siamo/torre-allianz.html; the allianz.com Milan releases) returns 403 to automation, so the owner is not established here; it is a EUR 8 name search away. |

| Grattacielo Pirelli (Pirellone) Piazza Duca d'Aosta 5-7A / Via Fabio Filzi, Centrale, 20124 Milano |
Civic | Regione Lombardia Lombardia Beni Culturali (the Region's heritage catalogue) records 'Condizione giuridica: proprietà Ente pubblico territoriale' (legal status: property of a territorial public body) and states: 'Nel 1978 il grattacielo è stato venduto dalla società Pirelli alla Regione Lombardia' — in 1978 the skyscraper was sold by Pirelli to the Lombardy Region, which refitted it from 1983 under Bob Noorda, Egidio Dell'Orto and Vico Magistretti. Gio Ponti with Pier Luigi Nervi, 127 m, reinforced concrete; damaged by a light aircraft at the 26th floor in 2002 and reopened 18 April 2004. The page states no price, so none is recorded. The Region's own sedi page redirects to its home. |

| Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II Piazza del Duomo / Piazza della Scala, Centro Storico, 20121 Milano |
Mixed use | Comune di Milano The Comune's own notices under 'Patrimonio immobiliare' tender the shops as its property under 18-year concessions. 12 Aug 2023: two units 'nel corpo di fabbrica fra piazza della Scala, via Marino e via Foscolo', 134 m² at 'canone annuo a base d'asta ... 388mila euro' and 290 m² at 840,000 EUR a year, plus a 118 m² unit on the via Silvio Pellico arm at 342,000 EUR — all about EUR 2,900 per m² a year as reserve rent, awarded on 'offerta economicamente più vantaggiosa'. 4 May 2024: a ground-floor shop with a via Silvio Pellico window at 48,100 EUR a year, restaurants excluded. Press totals (over EUR 80M a year) were not opened and are not used. |

The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
The most valuable ground in Milan is the OMI zone B12 — Duomo, San Babila, Montenapoleone, Missori, Cairoli — and the state publishes what it thinks a square metre there is worth, as a range for tax checks, while charging EUR 8 to say who owns it. Transaction counts for the Comune are open; declared prices per sale are not.
OMI zone B12, prime homes, H2 2025EUR 13,000–20,000/m²

Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
Italy publishes no builder league table and Milan's housebuilding is done by fund managers and one listed developer rather than merchant builders. The Istat permit count is provincial (3,241 dwellings in 2025 across the province); who builds them is read from the companies' own filings and releases, so the table below is assembled, not official. The pattern is that new homes arrive through SGR-managed funds on former railway yards and industrial sites — Scalo Porta Romana, the ex Macello, Cascina Merlata — with a growing affordable share negotiated with the Comune, while the free market is served by AbitareIn's SPV-per-project model. Prices in the centre are OMI's 8,700–20,000 €/m² range.

Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
Because the register sells names one at a time, the Milan landlords that can be named are those that publish their own asset lists: COIMA's funds and its formerly listed SIIQ in Porta Nuova, Generali's CityLife, Covivio's Milan office book, and the Comune as landlord of the Galleria. The large insurers' own towers (Allianz, Unipol) could not be read from their sites.

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- The fund and investor behind UniCredit Tower: Hines's release stating that Qatar Investment Authority took 100% of the Porta Nuova funds in 2015 is 403 to automation; COIMA's pages name only the asset manager.
- The owner of Torre Allianz (Isozaki) and of Torre PwC (Libeskind): allianz.com and allianz.it block automation; CityLife's and Generali's pages name the towers but not their title.
- Torre Unipol (Porta Nuova) and Torre Velasca (Hines, 2020): unipol.it serves a 404 shell on every deep path and hines.com is 403, so neither tower is listed.
- Which COIMA fund owns Gioia 22 (68,357 m², ex INPS, Intesa Sanpaolo) and Bosco Verticale's unit owners — the latter are private individuals and will never be published here.
- A price for the 1978 Pirelli sale to Regione Lombardia: the Region's heritage record states the sale but no sum; press figures were not opened.
- The Comune's total Galleria rent roll (press: over EUR 80M a year) and its deliberation of minimum building-land values for IMU — neither document was opened.
- Comune-level NTN by sector, OMI zone perimeters and the per-sale declared prices: all exist but sit behind SPID in the Agenzia's area riservata (Forniture dati OMI; Consultazione valori immobiliari dichiarati).
- Generali Real Estate's AuM and building count (client-side rendered) and any Lendlease Milano Santa Giulia or Borio Mangiarotti unit figures (404s).
