    New offices and meeting rooms completed in Bern

    The remodelling and renovation of the offices and meeting rooms at the Halter construction company’s Bern site have been completed. They were realised by Integral design-build AG, part of the Halter Group in Schlieren, within six months. The keys were handed over last week, according to Integral’s LinkedIn page. “By using recyclable materials such as wood, glass and metal, we have created a space that not only minimises our ecological footprint, but also reflects our values of sustainability and aesthetics,” it continues.

    The Halter site in Bern is growing and with it the “need for a larger and more inspiring working environment”, according to a Halter press release. Since the beginning of March this year, an additional 600 square metres of the former Denner site have been rented at the location in the House of Religions realised by Halter. The conversion phase, including dismantling, began in November 2023 and was successfully completed in July 2024. The expansion has increased capacity from 40 to 58 workstations. There are now also additional touchdown workstations and meeting rooms with modern equipment. The move has been successfully completed and the premises have already been filled with life.

    A particular highlight of the remodelling is the impressive staircase, which connects the two floors and creates an open and dynamic working atmosphere, according to the Halter press release.

    The Halter Group comprises a total of ten companies. The head office is in Schlieren, with further locations in Münchenstein BL, Bern, Kriens LU, Lausanne, St. Gallen and Geneva.

    Reputation Study Construction and Real Estate analyses 42 companies

    In the new 2023 benchmark study on the reputation of construction and real estate companies in Switzerland, Implenia from Opfikon ZH is in first place among construction companies, followed by Halter AG from Schlierem. Steiner from Zurich, Allreal based in Baar ZG and Frutiger in Thun BE follow in the other places, achieving good results overall.

    Mobimo from Küsnacht ZH leads the real estate category rankings according to the survey. It is true that second-placed Swiss Prime Site, based in Zug, has significantly greater visibility than Mobimo and achieves similarly good scores. However, due to the lack of statements on the topic of employers, it was not enough for the top spot, according to the statement. Avobis and UBS Asset Management (both Zurich) as well as Fundamenta Group in Zug follow in the other ranks.

    The reputation rankings were compiled by the consulting firm swissreputation.group together with the Institute for Management and Economic Research(IMWF). According to the statement, 42 construction companies, general contractors, real estate service providers and real estate owners were examined for this purpose. A total of around 17,500 statements in Swiss media and social media from 1 June 2022 to 31 May 2023 were identified and analysed using artificial intelligence.

    The factors product & service, innovation, profitability, sustainability, management and employer shape the good reputation of companies, according to the study. Media-mediated information and communication play an important role in forming opinions.

    The RhyTech quarter, which consists of two high-rise buildings, an apartment building and the converted historic Hall 22 of the former Alusuisse area, is intended to combine public and private uses, said Halter AG in a press release . The Zurich-based construction company will implement the RhyTech quarter as a general contractor. Construction work is scheduled to begin in November this year. Completion and occupancy of the quarter are targeted for the first quarter of 2024.

    The general contractor Helvetia Versicherungen was able to win over an investor for the smaller of the two high-rise buildings. The insurance company will realize the planned apartments as rental apartments and also market the restaurant on the 17th floor, explains Halter. "The project is perfectly tailored to the market environment and offers a sustainable investment in an up-and-coming community in the Schaffhausen region", Daniel Wehrli, the responsible project manager at Helvetia, is quoted in the press release. According to her, a tenant has already been found for the restaurant in the high-rise.

    The second high-rise and the apartment building are designed as condominiums. Of the 96 condominiums in the high-rise building, 39 and around a quarter of the apartments in the multi-family house are already taken, writes Halter. In view of the reference date, which is around three years away, this is "a very good reservation status", says Halter CEO Markus Mettler.
