The former Palazzo delle Poste in Piazza Cordusio, Milan was completely redeveloped in 2018 according to plans from Asti Architetti. This ambitious project encompassed the conservation and historical restoration of the pink stone façades, as well as the modernisation of the multi-tenant office spaces and internal corridors, respecting their original design while enhancing the liveability, aesthetics, layout and energy efficiency.

As for the commercial section of the building, directly facing Piazza Cordusio, the old skylight of the large central hall of the post office, now home to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery, has been restored in a contemporary style, as have the internal walls, which have been opened up with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the hanging gardens at different levels in the new courtyard.e.

The building was awarded LEED V4 Gold for Core and Shell certification.
