Shops, offices and warehouses in the old town, outside the walls and on the Lucca plain.
Shops on Via Fillungo, offices just outside the walls, warehouses near the A11: below is the commercial property in Lucca that we handle, for sale and for rent, including premises for food and drink.
The right premises depend on what you plan to do there: foot traffic, permitted use, systems, loading access. We help you check early whether a unit can host your business, before you start negotiating.
Our Via Beccheria office handles commercial property in the old town; our Porta Elisa office, at Viale Pacini 115, covers every property type in the city and province. Essegi is a family-run Lucca agency founded in 1983: we check the premises' documents and certificates and, for rentals, prepare and register the lease.

Every property in Italy has a land registry category that describes the use it is registered for; the permitted use, however, is set by its planning designation. As a rule, C/1 covers shops, C/2 storage, A/10 offices and professional studios, and D/7 and D/8 industrial and commercial buildings. If your business does not fit the designated use, you need a change of use, which depends on the town's planning rules.
Some activities need more: a bar or restaurant needs suitable extraction, toilets, compliant systems and a certificate of fitness for use. Clarify these before you sign an offer or a lease.
Shops on Via Fillungo and the busier streets of the historic centre work with residents and visitors on foot. Signs, shop windows and works follow the old town's rules, and deliveries run on set hours in the limited-traffic zone. Outside the walls you find units with parking, suited to services and offices. On the plain, around Capannori, Porcari and Altopascio, there are warehouses and industrial units near the A11 motorway.
As a rule, Italian law sets a minimum of 6 years for a commercial lease, renewing automatically for another 6 except in specific cases; for hotels it is 9 + 9. Seasonal uses are an exception. It is a long commitment, so read the clauses on early termination, works and rent reviews carefully. We prepare and register the lease and stay the go-between with the landlord. If you buy, we accompany you through the notary steps and can help you look for financing.
