    Neubau Portal AG and Engel & Völkers cooperate in brokering new construction

    According to a press release , the new construction projects and first occupancy platforms operated by Lucerne-based Neubau Portal AG and Engel & Völkers Wohnen Schweiz AG from Zug are joining forces in the highly sought-after new construction sector. The partnership aims to give customers faster access to the new property they want. The declining construction activity cannot keep up to cover the increasing demand for new properties. In addition, as a result of unqualified inquiries for Engel & Völkers, there is a high level of processing work, which often does not lead to the conclusion of a purchase.

    According to Engel & Völkers, the demand for home ownership is unbroken. Inquiries about new properties have the edge. This would also be underpinned by the figures from the Credit Suisse Real Estate Monitor for the third quarter of 2021. In order to close the gap in demand, Engel & Völkers wants to give its customers access to exclusive real estate through the partnership. With paid subscriptions, customers of Neubau Portal AG are offered around 150 to 200 new construction projects every month that do not appear on any other portal. The globally active broker of residential and commercial real estate wants to increase its customers’ chances of success and serve inquiries promptly.

    According to the company, Engel & Völkers has been a market expert for the brokerage of high-quality residential and commercial real estate as well as yachts and aircraft in the premium segment for over 40 years with over 900 locations in more than 30 countries.

  • Emmi lays the foundation stone for a new cheese dairy

    Emmi lays the foundation stone for a new cheese dairy

    Emmi is building a modern cheese factory at its location in Emmen for 50 million francs. It will replace the existing cheese dairy building, which is over 40 years old. As stated in a press release , this new building is one of the most important investment projects in Emmi's history. On Thursday, the milk processor celebrated the start of the new project phase with the laying of the foundation stone: the building construction is being tackled. In addition to representatives from Emmi and the project partners, Council of States Damian Müller and Lucerne Councilor Fabian Peter were also present.

    Preparatory work in the area began in November. The groundbreaking took place in January. The building should be ready by the end of the year. Commissioning – initially parallel to the existing cheese dairy – is planned for the end of 2022. The new dairy offers "space for highly professional and resource-saving cheese production," the message continues. In addition, it creates additional capacities in line with the long-term growth plans.

    The Emmi Group has 25 production facilities in Switzerland. The company also has 14 subsidiaries abroad. It is also represented with production facilities in eight of them. Emmi exports its products from Switzerland to around 60 countries. "With regional milk from Central Switzerland, we will be producing even more high-quality cheeses such as our Lucerne cream cheese for the whole world in the future," said CEO Marc Heim.

    "Emmi's investments show great confidence in the regional economy and in the canton of Lucerne as a location," government councilor Peter is quoted as saying. “As an important employer, she also serves as a role model in many ways. We are proud to have Emmi in our region. "

  • City of Zurich wants to reduce heat

    City of Zurich wants to reduce heat

    The city of Zurich is reacting to the heat waves of the past summer and wants to arm the city for future temperature-related stresses. On the one hand, measures are planned to be implemented in new construction projects. And on the other hand, the principle of the sponge city is to be implemented in pilot projects, as can be seen in a communication.

    This principle was developed to minimize flooding. To this end, rainfalls in the city are to be held back like a sponge and only gradually channeled into the water and groundwater. However, this principle is also intended to reduce global warming in Zurich. To this end, part of the Giessereistrasse in Zurich has been converted in a pilot project. For the sponge city principle, many factors such as the gradient of the road, the road surface, permeable curbs and lockable mud collectors must be taken into account. The aim is to ensure that rainwater only runs into the sewer system in winter. In the rest of the year, it should be diverted into the vegetation, where it slowly evaporates and thus contributes to cooling. At the end of the structural work, nine new trees have now been planted.

    The project, which will cost 680,000 francs, is currently designed for the period up to 2024. The Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) ensures scientific monitoring.
