Intro
Forrest in Town represents a new model of urban living, where nature, technology, and community coexist within a sustainable residential project.
Located in Milan, in the Via Zumbini area, the complex is the first residential complex in Italy to integrate a shared aeroponic garden for the direct use of residents, transforming them into true urban farmers.
The project was born from the desire to bring food production closer to people, making sustainability a concrete and daily experience, perfectly integrated into the living environment.
need
The Real Estate sector is increasingly called upon to respond to new needs related to well-being, sustainability, and quality of urban life.
Forrest in Town was looking for a solution capable of enhancing common spaces, offering a real service to residents, and contributing to urban regeneration goals by reducing environmental impact and shortening the food supply chain.
The project fits perfectly into the vision of sustainable cities outlined by Agenda 2030, where technological innovation becomes a tool at the service of urban and social development.
solution
Agricooltur® designed and installed three aeroponic cultivation lines within the complex, dedicated to the production of basil, salads, and microgreens exclusively for the resident community.
-
a controlled-environment soil-less cultivation system, without the use of soil
-
annual production of nearly 3,000 plants, always fresh and newly harvested
-
centralized agronomic management, with orders placed via the condominium app
-
product collection at the concierge desk on scheduled days and times
-
provision of the MicroHortus system for every household, which keeps the plants alive and hydrated even after harvesting
The result is a shared garden integrated into the heart of the residential complex, designed as a service rather than a mere decorative element.
results
The aeroponic garden at Forrest in Town has introduced concrete benefits for both residents and the real estate project.
-
daily access to high-quality, live, zero-mile products
-
up to 98% reduction in water consumption compared to traditional agriculture
-
continuous cultivation throughout the year, independent of seasonality and climate
-
greater involvement of the resident community and strengthening of the sense of belonging
-
enhancement of the property through an innovative and distinctive service
Forrest in Town demonstrates how aeroponic agriculture can become an integral part of urban living, opening new perspectives for sustainable Real Estate and city regeneration.
