The Bonnet Tower (Italian: Torre Bonnet), also known as Corso Como Place, is an office skyscraper in Milan, Italy.

History

The building was erected by the Pirelli company in the 1950s based on a design by the team of architects made by Francesco Diomede, Giuseppe and Carlo Rusconi Clerici.[1] Over the years, the complex served as the office of Unilever, was decommissioned in 2008, and was eventually acquired by COIMA in 2016.[2] COIMA renovated the building based on a design by the London-based architectural firm PLP Architecture.[2] As announced in 2019,[2] once the renovation was completed, the tower was leased to the consulting firm Accenture, becoming its new Milan headquarters.[3]

Description

The complex consists of the main tower, which reaches a height of 70 m (230 ft) with 21 floors,[4][5] and a four-story podium used for mixed commercial and office purposes.[5]
