Brescia, Piazza Vittoria: Italmark will occupy the old Standa department stores

29 August, Corriere della Sera

There’s a lot of activity in the former Standa in Piazza Vittoria. The property was empty for years, and then it had been acquired by Immobiliare Impero, which invested 10 million for its requalification (expected to be completed by the end of 2019). The architects Fausto Baresi and Riccardo Manfredi will renovate the building using glass, marble and green spaces. The project includes the implementation of luxury apartments at the fifth, sixth and seventh floors; while the second, third and fourth floors will probably accommodate offices (the initial plan was suggesting a gym). The first floor is destined to commercial properties, but it still has to be let. On the ground floor, an Italmark supermarket of the Brescia group Odolini will open. The supermarket will focus on high-quality products, offering also ready-made dishes. It will compete with the Conad supermarket which will open a Sapori&Dintorni store on the other side of the square (at Quadriportico), also offering dining services and local products.

The inauguration was initially scheduled by the end of 2017, but it was postponed by a year. If there used to be a lack of supermarkets in the centre of Brescia, now there will be an offer excess, also considering the Pam store in Via Fratelli Porcellaga.
