Emporis lists are in many case not accurate
Here, for istance, Varesine Tower 1 is given for sure at 175 m (what last news don't give for sure, unfortunately) and in any case it is not u/c 'cause they will start in 2007 the "true" costruction: for now they're just "preparing" the area which was a former rail station demolished in '50... a complicated process of clean up
However the complete list of all proposed/approuved/built top ten towers in Milan should be that
Milan, Italy
1 - Torre "Isozaki", CityLife : 220 m (approuved)
2 - Milanone, Area D3 : 212 m (proposed)
3 - Torre "Hadid", CityLife : 185 m (approuved)
4 - Torre 2, Area D3 : 185 (?) m (proposed)
5 - Torre Varesine 1 : 175 (?) m (approuved)
6 - Torre "Libeskind", Citylife : 170 m (approuved)
7 - Regione Lombardia : 160 m (u/c)
8 - Torre Hines 1 : 145 m (approuved)
9 - Torre Varesine 2 : 130 m (approuved)
10 - Pirelli Building : 127 m (built: 1956)
To add at the list as existing towers (but not skyscrapers) should be:
-
Telecom Italia Tower : 180 m
-
Rai Television Tower : 145 m
For the future there are many "undefined" projects which can change the top ten; two of them surely are
Milan Municipality tower that should have a minimum high of
150 m (they should do an international competition) and
Milan Expo 2015 Tower (I think its construction there will be just in the case Milan would host the Expo) just presented in the project for the Expo as the new symbol of the city that should be projected by an international competition: from the renderings it seems to be approximately
600 m (!) high
