Westfield Milano

Westfield Milano is Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield’s largest active Italian development project, under construction at Segrate on the eastern edge of Milan metro near Linate Airport. Once complete, the 175,000-sqm super-regional centre is positioned to be the largest Westfield-branded property in continental Europe by gross leasable area and the most ambitious single retail asset built in Italy since the Renzo Piano-designed Vulcano Buono opened near Naples in 2007.

The masterplan combines retail, dining, entertainment, and a hotel component within a campus footprint exceeding 350,000 square metres. The tenant strategy is engineered around international flagship anchors uncommon at this density in Italian suburban retail, with Apple, Galeries Lafayette, Primark, and Eataly among the announced commitments. The food and beverage component is positioned to be among the largest in any single Italian retail property.

The Segrate location places Westfield Milano at the intersection of the A51 Tangenziale Est, the Cassanese provincial axis, and the M4 metro line extension toward central Milan, with public transport access calibrated to draw urban catchment that suburban Milan super-regionals have historically struggled to capture. The opening date has been adjusted multiple times during construction, with the operator targeting a phased opening from 2026 onwards.

Within URW’s pan-European portfolio, the Milano project is the operator’s flagship Italian commitment and the asset that will define the Westfield brand’s market position in southern Europe alongside Westfield Mall of the Netherlands and the established London and Paris properties.
