In the heart of Pavia’s historic centre, on one of the city’s most prominent and frequented streets, we are pleased to offer for sale an entire historic building of great charm and solid investment appeal, distinguished by the presence of the renowned Bottigella Tower, an architectural landmark dating back to the 15th century.
Historical sources identify the building at Corso Cavour 17 as a palace once belonging to the Bottigella brothers, adjoining the eponymous 15th-century tower that defines its identity and prestige.
The palazzo and tower, now used as retail and office space, enjoy a central and strategic position within the city’s monumental and institutional fabric, close to both the Pavia Courthouse and the Pavia Cathedral. A setting that enhances the quality of the investment, the representational value of the spaces, and the appeal of the individual units.
An additional element of distinction, beyond the historic tower itself, is the inner courtyard with garden and vehicular access, a private and rare feature of great charm in the heart of the city.
The sale concerns the entire building, comprising 7 real estate units (for over 1,000 sqm of commercial space), all currently leased: 3 retail units with 4 street-facing windows and 4 offices.
This represents an immediately income-producing investment in a property of strong historic identity and exceptional rarity on the market, with a gross yield of 4.5%.
The interiors retain elements of remarkable charm, including representative rooms, generous ceiling heights, decorated ceilings, historic details, and views that further enhance the property’s exclusive character.
In addition to its historic significance and central location, the property also offers significant tax advantages connected to its historic-artistic protected status.
For buildings of historic or artistic interest subject to direct protection, Italian tax regulations provide for a reduction of the IMU taxable base and a favourable tax treatment for the determination of taxable rental income, a feature of particular interest to patrimonial and income-oriented investors.
These aspects should naturally be verified with the purchaser’s own tax adviser in relation to the acquiring entity and the applicable tax regime.
A rare opportunity aimed at investors, family offices, and private wealth seeking an iconic, income-producing asset in the historic centre of a university and monumental city such as Pavia.
