A multifunctional arena of around 80,000 sqm built area, with a capacity of 22,500 seats, will host concerts, festivals, and esports competitions. The retail segment will be covered by a luxury outlet for fashion and interior decorations, with over 70 brands, developed in partnership with Piuarch Milano and The Mall Firenze Team. Accommodation capacity indicates a total of 1,200 rooms across three themed hotels (4 star, 3 star +, and 3 star).
