The News: Pasquarelli appears to be behind the San Siro project, the manager who negotiated with Sala the construction of Cascina Merlata and former CEO of the company that will be responsible for rebuilding the trotting area... adjacent to San Siro. The crossroads But the Prosecutor's Office and the Court of Auditors are also working on the other major urban planning issue (with two open files, for now without suspects): the sale of the San Siro stadium and surrounding areas (280,000 square meters in total) to the funds owning Milan and Inter for just 197 million euros. Who is Pasquarelli? Just like politics. “Have you seen that among the names of the Steering Committee (the highest level decision-making body in a project, ed.) that make up the San Siro project for Milan and Inter there is Alessandro Pasquarelli?”, asked the FdI city councilor, Enrico Marcora, in the chamber on Monday, “Isn’t Pasquarelli a friend of the Mayor? Is it therefore true that the Mayor is selling a property of the Municipality to Milan and Inter, who have a friend of his among the professionals?”. The man who built Cascina Merlata and his relationship with Sala during the Expo Whether they are friends is not known, but Sala and Pasquarelli certainly have a long-standing relationship, as the manager was the CEO of EUROMILANO SPA, the company that built Cascina Merlata, the residential neighborhood left over from the post-Expo. The two, Sala as sub-commissioner for the event and Pasquarelli as owner of the areas, had the opportunity to collaborate for a long time. And that's not all. Pasquarelli's activity in Yard Reaas and the relationships with Hines and the Municipality From 2017 to 2024 Pasquarelli was also CEO and CEO of Yard Reaas, a group specialized in real estate consultancy, which in recent years has acted as Technical Advisor in numerous real estate operations carried out by the Hines group, such as the logistics hub in via Rubattino 87 ( 110,000 sq m) or the regeneration of the Lambrate area (8 new buildings for a total of 40,000 sq m), all operations that required continuous dialogue with the municipal administration. As well as the sale of the historic headquarters of the municipal company A2A in Corso Porta Vittoria 4 (there too Yard Reaas was Technical Advisor). Yard Reaas directs work on new Trotto district, next to San Siro Not only that, the Hines group has also entrusted Yard Reaas with the challenging role of General Management of Works for the new luxury Trotto district that is being built right next to the San Siro stadium, in an area that became buildable under the Pisapia administration, when De Cesaris was the councilor for urban planning. Two absolutely complementary projects, according to many, one totally residential (the Trotto), the other sports and commercial (San Siro, where the stadium law does not allow residential construction). After all, those 98,321 square meters of services, offices, shops, shopping centers and health center planned for San Siro, to whom should they be destined? Certainly not to the residents of the public housing in the area…
