Some addresses offer a unique perspective on a city, and Corso Francia 4 is one of them. Located on the 8th and top floor of a building within the historic Torre BBPR complex, this 142 sqm apartment blends the allure of modern architecture with the luxury of large living spaces, open vistas, and panoramic views that encompass Turin and its surrounding hills. The entrance leads into a bright, spacious living room featuring a large window that opens onto a panoramic balcony and flows seamlessly into the dining area. A sliding door provides access to an eat-in kitchen, fitted with custom-made cabinetry and opening onto an internal balcony with a pleasant view of the city. A hallway leads to the sleeping area, which includes two bedrooms and an elegant, light-filled bathroom complete with a walk-in shower and a whirlpool tub. The apartment is further complemented by a laundry room and a second, windowed guest bathroom. Every space features solutions designed to combine aesthetics with practicality, including security door, parquet flooring, custom-built wardrobes and shelving, and an attic. The kitchen comes fully equipped with appliances. Living comfort is ensured by central underfloor heating and an air-conditioning system. From the long balcony off the living room, the view opens up over the city, stretching all the way to the Turin hills, a striking perspective where the urban skyline blends into the landscape. As an added value, the property also includes a spacious garage/storage unit of approximately 40 sqm.

The BBPR Tower is not merely a residential building; it is a significant example of 20th-century Italian post-rationalist architecture. Constructed between 1955 and 1959 for Reale Mutua Assicurazioni, it was designed by the Milan-based firm BBPR (comprising architects Banfi, Barbiano di Belgiojoso, Peressutti, and Rogers, the same group behind Milan’s Torre Velasca). Possessing a strong architectural identity, the tower has managed to retain its distinct character and recognizability over time. It houses commercial spaces at street level, offices and professional studios on the first floor, and private residences from the second floor upwards. The BBPR Tower enjoys an ideal location in the heart of the city, with everything within easy reach: on the border between Turin’s city center and the San Donato district, this area offers easy access to Piazza Castello, which can be reached on foot via the pedestrianized Via Garibaldi. Furthermore, its proximity to the Porta Susa railway station and the Principi d’Acaja metro stop makes getting around especially convenient.
