Urban regeneration, agreement signed between Anci and Invimit

Large but often underutilised public real estate assets can become a lever of local development and financial sustainability for authorities. It is on this terrain that the memorandum of understanding signed between Anci and Invimit Sgr fits, with the aim of launching a structured collaboration to support municipalities in the valorisation of assets and urban regeneration processes.

The agreement aims to promote a more efficient and strategic use of public real estate, through functional and energy requalification interventions, but also through new operational tools. These include information initiatives aimed at local authorities to spread awareness of the vehicles and solutions managed by Invimit, as well as the creation of a permanent round table, with a special focus on inland areas and housing policies.

The issue is twofold: on the one hand, improving the capacity of municipalities to know and manage their assets, and on the other, activating projects capable of generating economic and social value. In this direction is also the commitment to provide digital tools for the monitoring and management of real estate, a key step especially for small and medium-sized entities, which often do not have up-to-date or integrated databases.

"Italian municipalities gain a strategic ally in the valorisation of their real estate assets, an often underutilised asset that represents a fundamental resource for territorial development and the financial sustainability of local authorities," emphasises Marco Fioravanti, president of Anci's National Council. Property management, he adds, 'is not just an administrative necessity, but an opportunity to generate economic and social value, optimising management and financing projects that benefit communities'.

On the operational side, Invimit's role remains that of a platform linking the public and private sectors, with an investment logic that differs from that of traditional operators. "Our mission is to be a bridge between the public and private sectors to put properties that have outlived their original function back into service," explains the company's CEO, Stefano Scalera. The leverage is that of repurposing, also through public-private partnerships, with an approach that aims at long-term returns and is therefore more suited to contexts that are less attractive to private investors.
