The building is 161 meters tall making it the tallest building in Italy at the time of its completion.

Palazzo Lombardia has a total floor area of 130,000 square meters which makes it one of the largest government buildings in Europe.

The construction of Palazzo Lombardia cost around €500 million and was financed by the Lombardy Regional Government.

The building's facade is made of glass and steel, and its design was inspired by the Lombardy region's landscape, with its hills and valleys.
