In Trieste, CampusX, Cdp Real Asset and Finint inaugurate a 360-bed student residence

Urban redevelopment and student housing of excellence in a former barracks in Trieste. CX Trieste |Giulia", the new 360-bed student residence, was inaugurated yesterday in Friuli Venezia-Giulia's capital city. Managed by CampusX, a well-known operator in the student housing sector, the residence - which is already operational - was realised by the Fondo Housing Sociale Fvg, of Finint Investments (Banca Finint Group), with the contribution of Cdp Real Asset Sgr, as the fund's main underwriter. The other investors are: the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, local Cooperative Credit Banks and some private operators.

The new student residence, located at Via Dei Bonomo 2, just a short walk from the University of Trieste and the city's historic centre, is the result of a major urban regeneration project that has led to the redevelopment of a nine-storey building, previously used as an office building, and its conversion into a modern and welcoming structure that responds to the growing housing and social needs of a young public. "CX Trieste |Giulia" offers solutions for short and long-term stays for university students and - at the same time - proposes an innovative hotel format, aimed at a young and dynamic public. The structure accommodates 360 beds for a total of 290 student rooms, 24 hotel rooms and 2 hostel dormitories.

The campus spaces are modern, functional and designed to meet the study and leisure needs of students. The common areas designed to stimulate study and sociability are distributed on different levels, starting from the ground floor and basement, and moving up to the fourth floor, and include study rooms, lounges, gymnasium, cafeteria, BBQ area, communal kitchens and play areas, as well as a large terrace equipped for leisure and relaxation.The campus represents a creative, unique space, a set of functions with a distinctive character, and is characterised by a design that blends the two souls of the city: the essential character of the 20th century buildings and the hyperdecoratism typical of Trieste's historical cafés.The renovation was carried out according to high standards of quality and sustainability, contributing not only to improving the housing offer for students, but also to enhancing the university area of the city of Trieste. Particular attention was paid to the energy efficiency of the building, implementing innovative solutions that reduce energy consumption and promote a sustainable environment with a strong focus on the comfort and safety of the building's customers.

The facility was recently declared eligible for funding under the NRP for university residences. At present, preparatory checks are underway for the granting of the contribution, which will apply the facilitation procedures provided for by the call for university housing, which envisage a rate reduced by 15% with respect to the average market value for 70% of the agreed-upon beds and a rate defined by the DSU body (Ardis Trieste) for the remaining 30% of the beds, assigned to capable and deserving students, even if without means.

The student residence in Trieste represents the tenth CampusX initiative in Italy, which currently has an operating portfolio of nine other facilities with a total of over 6,500 beds between Campus & Hotels. By 2025, three more openings are planned that will expand the offer by a total of 1,000 beds.
The FVG Social Housing Fund, managed by Finint Investments, in addition to the student residence inaugurated today, has in its portfolio 18 Social Housing initiatives in various cities of the region for a total of 660 housing units, of which 555 already completed and 105 under construction.
