Description

This is the unit that crowns the project. Unit 21 takes the top two floors of Palazzo Dreher, the eclectic building above Piazza della Borsa that was home to the Dreher brewing family and is now being reborn through a complete renovation. A two-level penthouse-attic on the fifth and sixth floors — 292 m² gross, with a view of the sea.

The fifth floor is where the day unfolds: entrance, a wide open-plan living space with kitchenette, a private gym and a guest bathroom. An internal stair climbs to the sixth-floor attic, given over to the night. Here the master suite becomes a room in its own right, with en-suite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and a freestanding tub set within the bedroom. The same level adds a second room with dedicated bathroom, the circulation spaces and a second kitchen, then opens onto a panoramic terrace of roughly 68 m² over the sea and the rooftops of the old centre.

In short: four rooms, two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a terrace on the living level and a corner outlook onto Via del Canale Piccolo. Every system is new — underfloor heating, ducted cooling, high-efficiency heat pumps — and the building has a lift. Premium specification: Italgraniti and Florim porcelain stoneware in 120x120 format, Parador oak parquet laid in herringbone, Treemme fittings, Ceramica Cielo sanitaryware, interior style chosen between modern and classic.

Delivered turnkey by the developer at € 2,450,000 plus VAT, new-build, with first-home tax relief possible. No parking unit: this is the pedestrian core of Trieste, steps from Piazza Unità d'Italia and the Rive waterfront. Completion is expected by the end of 2027. Part of the TriesteVillas Private Collection.

How we used AI in these photos

All 9 photos retouched with AI: 3 edited and 4 simulations, marked on the photo; the rest in light and colour only. The viewing remains the only reference.

How we edited them

The photographs in this listing were taken in June 2026, while work was under way: the common areas, the building's facades and the views from the roof and balconies; the interiors of this unit are not photographed. All 9 published photographs were edited with a generative image model (Google's Nano Banana family, used through the Higgsfield platform); 4 of them are simulations and are marked as such on the photo. Depending on the photo, the model removed cars, people, a scooter, ships on the horizon, a pole, a notice and a sign, and warmed the light; in four it replaced the daytime sky with a sunset sky or with clouds that were not there.

The scaffolding and building materials on the roof were left as they are. Where something was removed, what it hid was not photographed: the model reconstructed it, plausibly. Facades, roofs, sea and views are real; the sky and the sunset light are not.

The caption of each photo says what changed. The original, unedited photographs are available on request. Finishes and layout are defined by the floor plans and the specification; a viewing remains the only reliable reference for the property's actual condition.
