Italy's State Property Agency, Agenzia del Demanio, has reported a 144% increase in investments over the past three years, reaching €3.9 billion in 2024, according to its 2025 Annual Report presented at the Chamber of Deputies. The agency, which manages 44,000 state-owned properties valued at €62.8 billion, also achieved €120 million in savings through reduced passive leases and operational costs, representing an 11.2% decrease. The presentation at Montecitorio Palace featured interventions by Agency Director Alessandra dal Verme, Deputy Chamber President Fabio Rampelli, and Deputy Economy Minister Maurizio Leo.
The agency's shift from traditional property management to regenerative valorization has yielded significant environmental benefits. The report shows that 69% of primary energy consumption decreased compared to pre-intervention levels, while 47% of treated surfaces now feature permeable areas. Notably, all projects were designed without additional land consumption, and 42% incorporated sustainable land recovery strategies. These metrics form part of the agency's first Sustainability Plan, complementing its Industrial Strategic Plan through ESG-focused indicators.
Urban regeneration efforts have transformed disused areas, with 85% of interventions revitalizing abandoned urban zones and returning them to community use. Climate resilience measures were integrated into 57% of operations, aligning with Italy's broader sustainability goals. The agency emphasizes that public buildings should serve as catalysts for environmental, social, and economic development rather than merely conserved assets, marking a fundamental shift in public property management philosophy.
Looking forward, the Industrial Strategic Plan through 2028 aims to strengthen collaboration with local authorities, universities, and private investors while advancing digitalization through Building Information Modeling (BIM) for property lifecycle management. The agency's "City Plans for Public Buildings" model represents a new planning approach developed in close coordination with territorial entities, positioning state properties as levers for creating economic, environmental, and social value measured through structured, quantifiable indicators.
