Naples, student residence and 500-bed hotel inaugurated

The new university student residence CX Naples Centrale will be inaugurated tomorrow, Friday 28 November, in Naples. An urban regeneration project that transforms the former Inps building into a modern university residence with 500 beds.

Management of the facility was entrusted to CampusX (CX Campus & Hotel), an operator specialising in student residences. The project, completed in just two years, involved a building complex of over 15,000 square metres in Via Galileo Ferraris 4, near the Central Station. With a total investment of around EUR 40 million, the redevelopment is an important part of the broader urban regeneration process that is redesigning the entire eastern quadrant of the city.

The new residence comprises 352 rooms, 74 of which are for the hotel formula, with a total of 541 beds. Conceived primarily for university students, but also open to young professionals and travellers, the facility offers large communal spaces, coworking areas and areas dedicated to sociability and wellbeing - study rooms, communal kitchen, laundry, gym, play zone, multimedia room and panoramic rooftop - complemented by reception, community management, security and maintenance, for a living experience that goes beyond mere accommodation. The aim is to create an open and inclusive community in constant dialogue with the surrounding urban fabric.

CX Naples Centrale is also a candidate for Pnrr funds and, therefore, thanks to an agreement with Adisurc - the company that deals with the right to university study in the Campania Region -, 30% of the beds (83 units) are reserved for deserving students without means, with reduced rates: 278 euro for a single room and 254 euro for a bed in a double room (costs include utilities and services).

The CX Naples Centrale project was promoted and developed by the iGeneration Fund managed by Investire Sgr, Cdp Real Asset Sgr (Cdp Group), and the European Investment Fund (EIF), with the participation of other major institutional investors, including Fondazione CON ll SUD, Cassa Forense, Enpav and Intesa Sanpaolo.
