Office figures: No office-vacancy figure for Verona turned up in the sources read on 9 Oct 2026. Map built 2026-10-09.
Every building a record says stands empty, one point per building: filter by type, size and how sure the evidence is, and open one to see who says so. “Opportunities” switches to the co-op lens: public land, conversion potential and projects already under way, every source as its own layer.
No vacancy register or empty-buildings list from the City; the open-data host tried (dati.comune.verona.it) returned no catalogue on 9 Oct 2026, and the regional portal's City-property dataset (CC BY 4.0) lists concession and rental contracts, not vacancy.
0 empty buildings · colour = type, dark ring = confirmed
Check any building in Verona: could it become homes, and could the EHC model work there?
Buildings with evidence that they stand empty — a second source agrees, a public record names them, or we have checked them — ranked by a score you can read: co-op scale, daylight depth, a station nearby, a zone that allows homes, affordable land and an open route in. Checked buildings carry their result; nobody has visited them on site yet. Leerstandsmelder reports join the list when they sit in a large non-residential building and a second source agrees.

Where empty offices, the right zoning and a working neighbourhood come together — and what could go wrong.
The Ex Caserma San Bernardino, a former laundry and military compound of about 21,000 m² on Circonvallazione Maroncelli, is the largest unused State site in the centre.
Risk: The State has already assigned part of it to the Questura; heritage status (historic-artistic State property) limits works.
Via Francesco da Levanto and Via Maldonado hold two blocks of former Defence flats recorded as free or partly free: 9,280 m² and three buildings of 3,200 m².
Risk: They may be earmarked for the State's own housing needs; the sources read do not say.
The former Motorizzazione Civile site has an office building of 3,192 m² and annexes of 2,272 and 800 m² recorded free.
Risk: Offices and technical buildings; the State's plan for the vehicle-licensing function is in the Genovesa compound.
Who controls the space, and what a housing cooperative can actually do with them.
The Agency's Piano Città for Verona rationalises State seats (the Questura moves into the Ex Caserma San Bernardino; Motorizzazione and fire service are in the Genovesa compound). A co-op can ask for one of the eight buildings the register records as free, or answer the investor-portal offer of the Torricelle towers (each needs an urban-planning variant). The eight free records exclude hangars, bunkers and a building still "to be built".
The Martini barracks flats and Montorio workshops came to the Agency by "ex Difesa" decrees; the Agency can sell, let or reuse them. Flats in a block (9,280 m² and 3,200 m²) are the closest thing in Verona to ready housing stock in State hands.
Decisions, auctions and closures that change what becomes available, and when.
About 15% of the stock by a press piece that does not name its data source; it calls for expropriation of long-abandoned properties or an obligation on owners to renovate and let or sell.
