    Authorisation granted for sustainable office building complex

    Green Spin receives authorisation to build a sustainable office building complex. According to a press release, companies specialising in sustainability will move in here in three years’ time. The future units will have modular rental areas of between 35 and 1,400 square metres with a total area of 31,000 square metres. In addition to commercial, office and production premises, catering businesses and individual retail outlets will also move into the future quarter. Green Spin was initiated and developed by Felix Partner Architektur Design from Zurich.

    The architecture firm promises functional architecture with a photovoltaic façade and wind turbines for green electricity as well as a heating system that works with geothermal energy. The location is close to the city centre and has good connections to public transport and the city’s cycle network. A ramp up to six metres wide, which rises gently around the inner courtyard and is accessible by bike, is a particular highlight. This provides access to the rental space on all levels so that you can cycle directly to the office or shop.

    The building is certified in accordance with the international sustainability standard for buildings, BREEAM, and fulfils the ESG standards for sustainability reporting as well as the standards for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

  • Old cotton mill in Turgi becomes an office complex

    Old cotton mill in Turgi becomes an office complex

    The old cotton mill in Turgi is to be converted into a complex with offices and commercial space. That was decided by Limmatkraftwerke AG, which operates its hydropower plant next to the large building. The subsidiary of Regionalwerke AG Baden acquired the building in mid-2020. According to an announcement on LinkedIn, offices, studios and commercial space will be rented on April 1 or by agreement on an area of 7,000 square meters. André Roth AG in Baden is responsible for marketing the space.

    The former cotton mill in Turgi was built as a factory between 1826 and 1879. Between 400 and 600 people worked in the Bebié brothers' cotton spinning mill, according to an article in the “Aargauer Zeitung” about the purchase of the elongated gable roof building in July 2020, which the cantonal heritage authorities call “the largest-scale building of its type in the canton of Aargau” Limmatkraftwerke AG operates the power plant in Turgi, which supplied the 190-year-old cotton spinning mill with electricity.

    Martin Schoop, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Limmatkraftwerke, was quoted at the time about the reasons for the purchase: “We operate one of our power plants right next to the spinning mill building. With the purchase of the spinning mill, we can ensure the operation of this power plant in the long term. ”With the acquisition of the spinning mill, future use can be controlled in such a way that expansion is possible.
