Rescaldina Centre refurbishment completed: 25 new brands

Misar Due, the property company and owner, and Nhood, responsible for management and commercialisation, have completed the refurbishment of the first floor of the Rescaldina Shopping Centre. Here is the result.

Objective: +30% visitors

The project, covering 11.000 sq m, approximately one third of the overall GLA, formerly occupied by an Auchan hypermarket, has brought 25 new stores to the complex, located in the Milan metropolitan area. This brings the total to 90 brands, with an investment of 20 million euros by the developer.

For Rescaldina Centre—which recorded approximately 6 million visitors in 2025—the relaunch, which began at the end of last summer, is expected to generate approximately 1,7 million additional visitors (+30%), bringing overall traffic to 7,7 million visits every twelve months.

Turnover will grow by 20 points

The new layout also aims to promote [[ARTW_HTMLOPEN_AAAA] an increase in operators' overall turnover of around 20 per cent.

The outcome of the refurbisment of the first level followed four strategic lines: a broader shopping offer, [[ARTW_HTMLOPEN_AAAH] a food court of 1.500 sq m, a new adjoining leisure area and an area designed for sport and wellbeing.

Meanwhile, these spaces are being populated by 11 retail units, including the fifth Half Price store in Italy, Upim Gallery, Scarpe & Scarpe, Cotton & Silk, Pinalli, Only (women's clothing), the refurbished Nuna Lie (women's ready-to-wear), Foto Magiche, MediaWorld and Vodafone, which will be joined in the coming weeks by Rinascimento, a Teddy Group brand.

A further 10 entrances dedicated to food service have also been planned: JB Burger, Tosca, I Love Poke, Alice Pizza, La Piadineria, La Yogurteria and Caffè Vergnano, which will be joined in the coming weeks by other tenants, including Mc Donald's and Popeyes.

The leisure area will host the virtual and gaming arenas of the Italian chain Log - Lot of Games and two formats dedicated to physical wellbeing: King Sport and the Action Fit gym.

In March 2026, as the first step in the plan to reorganise the spaces, the Decathlon megastore was also refurbished and expanded, reaching approximately 3.500 square metres in area.

In terms of sustainability, Rescaldina Centre is Breeam In-Use certified, while the project will contribute to the creation of approximately 200 jobs.

Rescaldina Centre doubles the mall area

Important redevelopment works have also affected the shopping mall areas, which have been completely redesigned architecturally and with a doubling of the mall area.

The project, entrusted to Rossetti Engineering of Milan and promoted by Ceetrus and ImmobiliarEuropea, also led to the renewal of the lighting system and the raising of the skylights, to make better use of natural light.

To improve accessibility and usability of the spaces, new connections have been added: the previous ramps have been replaced by state-of-the-art escalators equipped with systems to contain energy consumption during periods of non-use. The structures lead to two new squares, “Piazza dell'Acqua” and “Piazza della Montagna”. Designed as places for meeting and socialising, they were created to host events and other initiatives.

To complete the refurbishment, 15 coworking workstations have also been installed for workers and students.
