    FAHRWERK: Passable, sustainable and innovative new commercial building

    To the north-east of Neuhegi town centre, a Minergie-ECO certified commercial building called FAHRWERK will be completed in the “Hegmatten” commercial and industrial district by winter 2024. As the name suggests, the new building will have floors that can be driven on as far as possible. Flexible rental space of around 10,500 square metres is planned. The spaces will be rented from 1,500 square metres. A modern and spacious lobby is planned for the reception of guests. Shared spaces are also planned on the attic floor with bookable meeting rooms.

    Thanks to a floor load capacity of up to 2 tonnes per square metre and ceiling heights of 4 to 5 metres, and even up to 9 metres on the ground floor, FAHRWERK is suitable for a wide range of industries. Conceivable, for example, are furniture factories, workshops and handicraft businesses, showrooms or tech labs. Although the focus is on the manufacturing industry, workshops or companies from the handling logistics and automotive sectors, great importance is attached to a high degree of representativeness. Trucks will find spacious delivery zones on the ground floor. In addition, 100 car parking spaces and 66 bicycle parking spaces are planned.

    The property is optimally connected to the A1 via the “Oberwinterthur” motorway junction. The accessible new commercial building can be easily reached by bus via the “Technopark” bus stop. It is also in the immediate vicinity of Oberwinterthur railway station. By S-Bahn, the journey time from Oberwinterthur station to Winterthur station is just three minutes. The nearby Eulachpark – Winterthur’s largest and youngest park – is ideal for a relaxing lunch break in nature.

    The Neuhegi urban development area has already been transforming itself for several years and is to become a second urban centre of Winterthur. Already today, internationally active high-tech companies are located here.

    HIAG Immobilien Schweiz AG is responsible for the development and letting of FAHRWERK.

  • Halter starts construction of the Toffematt housing estate

    Halter starts construction of the Toffematt housing estate

    With the ground-breaking ceremony, the construction of the Toffematt housing estate with 30 condominiums has begun in the Bernese municipality of Toffen. Halter AG is responsible for the development of the project with three new buildings, according to a media release. Thanks to a new form of cooperative ownership, condominium ownership is affordable for people with different purchasing power and remains cost-effective in the long term, according to the detailed Halter release.

    The ground-breaking ceremony on Thursday, 16 March, was attended by community president Carl Bütler, pastor Nadja Heimlicher and parish councillor Reto Casty. In October 2019, Halter AG acquired the right to purchase the plots from the Toffen community and the Belp-Belpberg-Toffen parish. The sustainable price of the land was linked to the condition that the resulting living space would be offered in a moderate price environment. in 2021, the newly founded Toffematt housing cooperative acquired the plots and Halter AG developed the development as a residential property project with building rights.

    According to the press release, the housing cooperative’s (WBG) sponsorship model not only enables condominium ownership in Toffematt with purchase prices 10 to 20 per cent below market prices. It is also intended to prevent speculation.

    With the purchase of a flat, the owners join the WBG Toffematt. According to the building lease contract, future profits from the sale of the flat benefit the cooperative. That is why a short-term resale is not worthwhile, according to the statement. And the flats remain affordable in the long term.
