A 10 meters climbing wall: that’s the symbol of Caldera Park Worklife in Milan, by Generali Real Estate and CBRE. This business center is an example of how physical activity has become essential in the new ways of working, as a good work-life balance and well-being indicator, defining a space that is able to match the workers’ needs.
The project for the renovation of the 110 sqm Caldera Worklife Business Centre has started from a survey among the 4.000 employees working in the building in order to understand what were their most urgent and important needs. That gives to Generali Real Estate, CBRE, as long as General Planning and Carlo Ratti Associati, thata designed the main entrance and square, the line to create a business centre capable to create a wealthy and comfortable working environment.

“We wanted to create a business park which could be a benchmark for the future”, Alberto Agazzi, GRE SGR’s CEO and General Manager, said. “The core of our project is the people who live the space every day, for whom new services and instruments were created, in order to encourage a good balance between working and private life”. Physical activity has been chosen as the key to this balance: outside a two ring running track (1 km + 666 m) has been built with a computerized timing system, as well as a 10 meters climbing wall, while inside a fully equipped fitness area has been designed.
Also Easy Point, the building dedicated to all the services, has been renovated, creating a coworking space, which can be used also by eternal companies and people, as long as a kindergarten, a mini-market, and an app that allows employees to easily find out about dedicated offers, that helps to make everyday life simpler.
