Goldman Sachs to Move Milan HQ into Former Credit Suisse Landmark

Goldman Sachs is finalizing a move of its Milan headquarters into the landmark former Credit Suisse offices on Via Santa Margherita, reporter Sonia Sirletti wrote on LinkedIn, saying the Wall Street firm will take two of the three floors previously occupied by the Swiss bank and gain about 800 square meters more space to expand conference and client facilities.

Sirletti’s LinkedIn post names Laura Noonan as a co‑author of the full piece and states the property is owned by COIMA. The additional roughly 800 sq m is presented as an increase versus Goldman’s current Milan footprint; the published excerpt links the extra area specifically to expanded conference and client facilities rather than trading‑floor capacity.

The reporting describes the transaction as at an advanced stage, with Sirletti’s coverage saying Goldman is “set to move” and describing talks as finalizing rather than presenting a signed lease. Available public reporting does not include a confirmed move date or a lease document; those details remain unverified pending comment from Goldman or COIMA.

Operational context published alongside the relocation news indicates Goldman’s Milan office currently employs nearly 80 people. Separate reporting cited by PrivateBankerInternational says the bank could shift parts of its euro swaps trading team to Milan from London and “the bank could shift the team early next year and will hire locally, added two of the people.” PrivateBankerInternational also records that “a spokesperson for Goldman Sachs refused to give any updates on the matter.”

Reaction to the move has surfaced on social media. A.S. Berman commented that the shift is “symbolic” and questioned whether it signals strategic intent or opportunistic real estate reshuffling. Davide Massenzana posted that the office holds “great memories” and suggested the UBS‑Credit Suisse merger cleared the way for Goldman to take the premises, an attribution framed as commentary rather than reporting.

Key commercial and logistical details remain outstanding: the exact street number on Via Santa Margherita, whether the third former Credit Suisse floor remains leased, rent and term information, and whether the additional space will be used for client events only or to support trading operations. Bloomberg reporters Sonia Sirletti and Laura Noonan are identified in the coverage as the original reporters; official confirmation from Goldman Sachs and COIMA would clarify the lease status, move timetable and any headcount changes beyond the nearly 80 staff currently in Milan.

If completed, the relocation would enlarge Goldman’s central Milan facilities and precede potential trading hires tied to a reported euro swaps shift early next year, but formal announcements from the bank or landlord have not yet been published.
