The mixed-use HTM Hybrid Tower Mestre in the town close to Venice features short-term rental apartments, temporary offices, a health centre, and a restaurant.
From studios to three-room apartment with a restaurant
Built in 2016 the Hybrid Tower Mestre spans nine floors, housing 34 apartments ranging from studios to three-room apartments. These residential units are interspersed with offices and a health centre. The restaurant is situated on the top two levels, topped by a panoramic terrace offering views of the Venetian Lagoon and the Pre-Alps.
The hybrid tower appeals to digital nomads who bring their families
The target customers for Htm’s Hybrid Tower Mestre are primarily medium to high-end, the accommodation appealing to global tourists seeking a comfortable stay near Venice's centre but away from the hustle and bustle of the water city, and with a nearby tram providing easy access. And business clients are also attracted by the tower's proximity to the train station, airport, and ample parking. Halldis also pays special attention to the growing phenomenon of digital nomads, professionals who choose to work in a foreign country for certain periods of the year while bringing their families along to combine work, relaxation, and high-quality tourism.
“We aim to contribute to the decentralisation of tourists in Venice”
“The city of Venice is a dream for many, and as a result, tourist flows are constantly increasing,- says Vincenzo Cella, general manager of Halldis. - With this project we aim to contribute to the decentralisation of tourists in Venice by combining the short-term rental demand of tourists with those of business clients. Being able to choose an area where guests can stay in real apartments, while also having access to parking and a restaurant, makes the decision easier.”
“The demand is calling for mixed-use properties like Htm”
“In two or three years high-end professional products with services will enter the market. Demand is becoming more fluid, calling for mixed-use properties like Htm. While countries like France and Germany have ample availability of high-level residences and numerous mixed-use properties, in Italy, the real estate stock is vast but highly fragmented, which hampers conversion projects,” says Michele Diamantini, CEO of Halldis.
