Piedmont Region Headquarters

The Piedmont Region Headquarters (Grattacielo della Regione Piemonte) is a skyscraper topped out in 2015 in Turin, Italy, which will house the administration offices of the Piedmont Region. The building was designed by Massimiliano Fuksas.

Premises selected for the construction of the building is represented by an area already used by former Fiat Avio, not far from the trade center of Lingotto, in the district of Nice Millefonti in Turin.

Construction started in fall 2011, followed by a series of missteps delaying the completion of the project. On October 10, 2012, after a year of work on the site, the Guardia di Finanza entered the current Piedmont Region Headquarters, in Piazza Castello to obtain, and audit all documentation relating to the assignment of the call for tenders for the construction of the new building. At the end of March, 2016, a new investigation was launched, delaying the final stages of construction. This was the result of fresh findings that the windows installed on the building were faulty, and that roughly 300 of the 3,600 already-installed windows needed to be substituted. Work did not continue until the summer of 2017. As of January 2018, construction continues on the skyscraper, with an anticipated move-in date for employees in the Fall.
