  • Zurich gets loading houses

    Zurich gets loading houses

    The Zug -based AMAG Group has set up Switzerland’s first charging station in the Utoquai car park at Färberstrasse 6 in Zurich, the automobile company said in a press release . 50 of the 150 parking spaces in the multi-storey car park were equipped with a charging station. Interested parties can rent such a parking space and charge their electric vehicle. The available price models for parking and charging including electricity are explained on parking.amag.ch .

    A good charging infrastructure is becoming increasingly important in view of the increasing number of newly registered electric vehicles, explains Hendrik Lütjens in the press release. “With the Utoquai loading house, AMAG Parking offers residents in Zurich’s Seefeld a sustainable and convenient solution and contributes to the more efficient use of inner-city areas,” says the Managing Director of AMAG Parking AG. “Further multi-storey car parks from AMAG Parking AG will follow, further facilitating the switch to electromobility.”

    AMAG intends to open its next loading house in the Kongress parking garage in Zurich this month. A total of 28 charging stations are planned here. In the fall, the AMAG Group plans to install a further 61 charging stations in the Messe Zürich multi-storey car park in Oerlikon.

    Construction plans in Zurich North Next step for densification in Neu-Oerlikon

    Zurich's plans for Neu-Oerlikon: This is how the space around the train station should be designed. Red are buildings with a height of 80 meters, orange are those with a height of 54 and yellow are those with a height of 45 meters. Image: Master plan 07/10/2018

    More apartments, more jobs, more shops, more culture. North of the Oerlikon train station, “an attractive, urban-planning center is to be created”, says structural engineering supervisor André Odermatt (SP). To this end, the city council approved a partial revision of the Neu-Oerlikon special building regulations from 1998.

    The new regulations are a "huge opportunity" for Oerlikon, says Odermatt. "We are improving the plans from the 1990s and bringing them to a close."

    The partial revision allows a clear consolidation. Two skyscrapers with heights of 80 and 54 meters are planned on Max-Frisch-Platz. A total of 400 to 500 new apartments are to be built between Binzmühlestrasse and Oerlikon train station. In around half of them, non-profit housing construction is possible, according to the Urban Development Office.

    ABB cedes city property

    The city developed the plans together with the three major landowners, the canton of Zurich and the companies ABB Immobilien AG and AXA Leben. The city can claim some of the profit generated by the rezoning.

    The city receives money from the canton and AXA Leben – how much is not yet public. She would like to use the amount to improve the infrastructures in the neighborhood. ABB Immobilien will provide the city with the property on which Hall 550 is located. "In this way we can secure the existence of Hall 550," says Odermatt. This makes an important contribution to the cultural offerings in Oerlikon. The city is also taking over the property south of it. There she is planning charitable apartments.

    The special building regulations guarantee that with Hall 550 and the former ABB brick building 87T, two buildings from the industrial past will remain. In addition, they should create a greener quarter. Max-Frisch-Platz and a pedestrian zone are being enlarged. Shops and restaurants on the ground floors should keep the streets busy.

    Next, the local council will discuss the new building regulations. They will come into force in mid-2022 at the earliest. Then the owners can start planning their properties.

    Another skyscraper characterizes Zurich Oerlikon

    The foundation stone for the project was laid in 2014 with a multi-stage general planning competition. Armon Semadeni Architects, Zurich emerged as the winner. SBB is investing around 96 million francs in the Franklinturm at Zurich Oerlikon station. The almost eighty meter high new building will have 14,800 square meters of office space on 21 floors and shops and restaurants on the ground floor on 200 square meters. In addition, a bicycle ramp will be integrated into the Franklinturm, which will connect Hofwiesenstrasse with the Velostation Passage Oerlikon. The sales and catering areas on the ground floor will be marketed in 2021. With the project, SBB wants to further improve the quality of work and life in Zurich Oerlikon. The building, together with the Andreasturm, will have a significant impact on the cityscape in north Zurich, emphasize those responsible for the project. As with previous SBB buildings, the Franklinturm will also be realized according to the "DGNB / SGNI Platinum" standard of the Swiss Society for Sustainable Real Estate Management. The system evaluates the ecological, economic, socio-cultural and functional qualities of a building. ■
