The Milan Olympic Village is one of the Olympic Villages that will host the athletes participating in the 2026 Winter Olympics and the 2026 Winter Paralympics, which will take place in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo in February and March 2026, alongside the Olympic Village in Livigno and the one in Cortina d'Ampezzo.

History

The project of the complex, designed by the American architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill,[1] was presented in July 2021, with delivery planned in July 2025.[2]

After the games, Coima SGR, a real-estate manager based in Milan, plans to invest over €200 million to acquire and convert the complex into student housing for college students in Milan.[3] Buildings adjacent to the park and railway near Olympic Square will be converted into affordable housing. Additionally, the Olympic Village Plaza is set to transform into a community square featuring retail stores, bars, restaurants, and cafés at ground level. The plaza will also include outdoor areas designated for farmers' markets and various community activities.[4]
