  • First construction phase in Unterfeld Süd in Baar starts in 2025

    First construction phase in Unterfeld Süd in Baar starts in 2025

    The owners Ina Invest and Estella Invest and the developer Implenia decided in favour of a digital project competition in which a digital 3D model was submitted instead of physical models. This made the jury process much easier, as different levels and elements could be flexibly combined and analysed. The winning design for the first construction phase, a combination of the proposals from Enzmann Fischer Partner AG and ORT AG, impressed with its innovative floor plans and a well thought-out design of the open space that harmoniously combines living and working.

    Open space design as the key to the attractiveness of the neighbourhood
    The Unterfeld Süd neighbourhood will be enhanced by generous open spaces, which
    extend along the Stampfibach stream. An ecologically valuable green space is being created here that offers a wide range of uses. The central arrival square at the S-Bahn station will be transformed into an inviting place to meet and linger thanks to tall trees and green islands.

    High-rise building with a view to the future
    The 60-metre residential tower block in the first phase is impressive not only for its height, but above all for its well-thought-out floor plans and flexible room layouts. The generous windows offer impressive views from every flat, while the bay windows on the façade allow residents to enjoy both the outside and the inside of their own flat.

    Commercial building as a centre for dynamic companies
    The adjoining commercial building also focuses on flexibility. Two glazed inner courtyards create islands of light that can be used as break areas. With its flexible room structure, the building offers space for a wide range of uses – from small offices to larger rental spaces for anchor tenants.

    The second phase will provide affordable housing and flexible commercial space
    The second construction phase, the planning of which is already at an advanced stage, will focus on affordable rental flats and owner-occupied flats. The inner courtyard of the planned perimeter block development in the second phase will create opportunities for retreat and public meeting spaces in equal measure. The buildings along Nordstrasse are deliberately designed to minimise noise pollution. A referendum on the second stage will also be held in Baar in 2025.

    Sustainable architecture and flexible usage concepts
    The architecture of the buildings reflects the vision of a future-oriented neighbourhood. The combination of flexible living, versatile commercial space and well thought-out open spaces creates a lively and attractive cityscape. Particularly noteworthy is the combination of living and working, which is supported by well thought-out spatial concepts and attractive outdoor areas.

  • New innovative business park in Altstetten

    New innovative business park in Altstetten

    Glass, metal and exposed concrete – the new commercial property Manufakt 8048 was created as a minimalist blank and at the same time a prototype for sustainable service and production facilities.

    With the concept and the brand "Manufakt", the real estate developer Steiner AG wants to offer more utility with less resource consumption. Manufactory 8048 has various “shared spaces” – common areas such as reception areas, meeting rooms or meeting areas. This reduces the direct room costs and the operating costs for additional areas. This should also attract young companies.

    The office building manages without load-bearing walls and thus offers a flexible spatial grid. In addition, Steiner AG has designed "room boxes" for individual workstations, which can be put together in modules if required.
    The new tenants in Altstetten are currently in the process of individually designing their floor plans as part of the tenant fit-out and converting the up to 4.5 m high rooms into production and office areas, laboratories and showrooms.

    The design of the building in Altstetten was developed and planned by Theo Hotz Partner Architekten. Although Theo Hotz (1928-2018) was considered one of the best-known high-tech architects in Switzerland during his lifetime, the Manufactory 8048 was designed as a "low-tech" building: the building technology and the standard of construction are minimal, the structural details are simple. The clear design language of the building results from a simple cubic outline with six floors. These can be recognized from the outside by continuous glazed ribbon windows and horizontal aluminum parapets. In the building, industrial
    tial materials such as steel, exposed concrete and seamless industrial floors together with exposed installations.

    In the center of the building is an airy atrium, which serves as an open inner courtyard for access and becomes an attraction, meeting point and relaxation area. The liveliness in the inner courtyard is supported by greenery, which is intended to contribute to a positive climate. Lifts and cantilevered arcades lead from the inner courtyard to the floors.

    In Wädenswil and Winterthur, two more industrial parks will be built in the coming years based on the Manufakt concept. An important element is the networking of the various tenants across the locations.

    Great strides are being made towards making the areas more flexible .
    The demand for flexible office and commercial space has been increasing for years. The market trend towards making rental space more flexible for other types of use is also steadily increasing.

Martin Kaleja, CEO of Swiss Prime Site Immobilien: “The key success factors are the modern standard of construction, the flexibility of the space and the guarantee of support and services. As with other areas that have already been made more flexible, the needs of our customers are also in the foreground in the Life Science area.» Swiss Prime Site Immobilien and Superlab Suisse together have the necessary know-how to ensure the space required in the laboratory and research area.

While Superlab Suisse contributes the 'software', we have the right knowledge of the real estate market, the knowledge of what our customers want

  • Pandemic accelerates real estate trends

    Pandemic accelerates real estate trends

    Yonas Mulugeta, CEO of CSL Immobilien , sums up the findings from the current CSL Real Estate Market Report 2021 . According to a corresponding press release, this applies in particular to the office market. The vacancy rate for offices has reached a high: the available supply of commercial space has increased by 23 percent to 2.26 million square meters in the course of the past year. That is the highest value since 2014.

    At the same time, however, the demand for central locations in major centers such as Zurich increased. The authors of the report deduce from this that the home office is not the end of the office. Instead, office space would be used more as social meeting and collaboration places. Because "Location factors such as an urban environment with attractive lunch or leisure options or proximity to customers and industry meeting points have become more important as a result of the pandemic".

    The vacancy rate in the residential market has also reached a high. In the previous year, the Swiss average rose from 1.66 to 1.72 percent – a value that was last reached in 1988. Outside the major centers, high vacancy rates of over 2 or 3 percent are not uncommon in all of Switzerland. CSL expects vacancies to continue to rise and rents to fall in 2021. Residential property has benefited from the increased value of a beautiful home during the pandemic. Because of the increasing number of homeworkers, real estate in more peripheral locations would have found buyers more easily.

    For multi-asset investors in particular, real estate investments have become a replacement for bonds with negative interest rates. Returns in all real estate asset classes continued to decline.
