Planning work on the Silicon Box plant at Agognate in Novara? Tell us your crew size, dates and trade package and we will source long-stay housing across Novara, Trecate, Vercelli and the western Milan area.
We arrange accommodation for contractors in Novara on a project basis, priced for the length of the stay rather than a nightly rate.
Silicon Box, the Singapore chip packaging company, is building its first European plant at Agognate on the edge of Novara in Piedmont. The Vulcan Project is a €3.2bn advanced packaging and test facility with 1,600 direct jobs planned, presented on 9 November 2026 in a joint statement by the Ministry of Enterprise, the Comune di Novara, Regione Piemonte, Silicon Box and Invitalia.
Planning permits and the final design are complete, and the ministry says works start in the first months of 2027. That points to a multi-year build with civil, cleanroom and process fit-out teams arriving in phases. The mayor acts as extraordinary commissioner to speed up approvals. We can line up housing ahead of the first packages across Novara, Trecate, Vercelli and the western Milan area.
We source long-stay accommodation for teams with confirmed work on the Vulcan Project, matched to the Agognate site access north of the city.
We assess practical locations across Novara, Trecate, Vercelli and the western Milan area based on your actual site access, commute, crew size, parking and accommodation standards rather than a generic city search.
We can source for specialist rotations, staggered arrivals, multi-month assignments and extensions as packages move through the programme, subject to live availability.
We look for accommodation with kitchens, laundry, reliable WiFi, parking and suitable bedroom configurations for sustained assignments.
