The Diamond Tower (in Italian Torre Diamante or colloquially Diamantone) is a high-rise building in Milan business district, on the corner between Viale Della Liberazione and Via Galilei. It was built in the context of a massive urban renewal project carried out at the start of the 21st century. The tower is 140 meters tall, making it the fourth building in Milan by height and the fifth in Italy and the tallest steel edifice in Italy. It features an iconic multifaceted structure, which recalls the shape of a diamond (from which, indeed, derives its name). The building is surrounded by some lower constructions, nicknamed Diamantini (the small diamonds), functioning as continuities of the high-rise. All the facilities are intended for commercial purposes. The principal tenant is BNP Paribas bank since 2016.

Porta Nuova (Milan)

Porta Nuova (pronounced [ˈpɔrta ˈnwɔːva]; literally "New Gate"; Milanese: Pòrta Noeuva [ˈpɔrta ˈnøːʋa]) is one of the main business districts of Milan, Italy in terms of economy, and part of the Zone 2 administrative division. Named after the well-preserved Neoclassic gate built in 1810 on this site, it is now one of Italy's most high-tech and international districts, containing the country's tallest skyscraper: the Unicredit Tower Porta Nuova has a 2017 city GDP of €400 billion, which makes it Europe's richest district within any city. A concentration of companies are based in Porta Nuova, with 4% of all institutions and conglomerates found in Italy, while Milan has 40% of all these business, and Milan's Lombardy Region has 53% of it. Industrialization is also profusely increasing within the district. A total of three Fortune 500 companies are located in it, namely AlfaRomeo, Pirelli and Techint, with a lot of other significant companies, including luxury fashion house Versace and italian football giants Internazionale. Geographical Porta Nuova was the main engine of the global invention of "polypropylene" by Giulio Natta, or in other terms, plastic, popularized by several companies within the city during the 1950s. Porta Nuova began manufacturing trams, buses, and trains, as part of Milan's public transport system which now gave Milan Europe's most advanced light rail system. In 2019, Milan is in course to have several tax-free or flat tax services, as part of attracting domestic and international businesses which will be initiated in the area of Porta Nuova. It is also an integrated response to gain several European Union agencies from United Kingdom following Brexit and to prevent a possible economic fallout.
