The PSE Pian Faloppia is strategically located on the North-South axis in the heart of Europe.
Less than an hour from Milan and two from Zurich, the area is well-connected to the region, thanks to the proximity of the A2 highway, the railway line and the Milan Malpensa Airport. Accessibility is ensured by dedicated road links and connection to the public transport network.
The industrial area is located in a flat border region characterized by a temperate climate and the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
On a total area of 100,000 sqm, about 25,000 sqm are available for new developments, and there are still vacant spaces for rent in the existing buildings.
The sector is perfectly integrated into the region’s productive network and benefits from privileged access to the scientific and academic network (Università della Svizzera italiana, Scuola Universitaria Professionale della Svizzera italiana, Accademia di architettura, Centro professionale del verde in Mezzana, the future Fashion School in Chiasso, etc.) and to the Regional Innovation System of Canton Ticino.
