    Vertina investment foundation successfully started

    By building up a portfolio of new residential properties, the foundation is committed to the highest level of sustainability. She has the knowledge and experience to combine high-yield real estate and environmental responsibility.

    The foundation was launched by Markstein Advisory AG, which underwrites various investment vehicles. She is responsible for the overall management and the portfolio, as managing director Pierluigi Cannoletta could be won. The qualified architect and construction economist with a MAS in Real Estate (CUREM) UZH previously worked for investment foundations for 10 years and has over 40 years of experience in the real estate sector.

    The foundation has already completed three acquisitions in the city of Zurich, in Bachenbülach and in Oftringen. Two further project purchases are scheduled and will be certified by the end of August 2022. This means that the capital from the initial issue is fully invested or earmarked for the construction of the projects.

    For further growth, the investment foundation is already preparing a capital increase.

    The hotel in the shopping center When construction and use match thanks to drywall construction systems from Rigips.

    The 3-star hotel offers 80 rooms. It has a breakfast room, a bar and a lounge. Guests can go straight to the Perry Center via a passageway, where they can shop and use the other range of restaurants and meeting rooms. It is primarily aimed at business people who are busy in the region and are looking for accommodation for one or more nights in this central location in terms of transport.

    The physical possibilities of dry gypsum construction
    A hotel must above all meet two requirements: peace and security for its guests. The peace and quiet is made possible not least by the good construction quality, whereby dry gypsum construction systems are in no way inferior to conventional construction methods, on the contrary. In the Holiday Inn Express, among other things, a 350 m2 Rigiton® Ambiance acoustic perforated ceiling by Rigips spans a good five meters over the entire ground floor with reception, lobby, bar as well as breakfast and self-service area. The holes of different sizes (Ø 8, 15 and 20 mm) absorb the sound and provide a pleasant acoustic feeling of space. An elongated wooden slat ceiling that appears to float is built in over the tables in the breakfast room. It is mounted using threaded rods on the Megastil® special profiles from Rigips, which were used to reinforce the ceiling substructure in this section.

    Sleep in peace and security
    The partition walls between the individual rooms consist of double-clad Rigips® double stud walls made of 12.5 mm plasterboard with a wall thickness of 205 mm and a sound insulation value of 65 dB. These constructions are of higher quality and yet more efficient to create than concrete or brick walls. And above all, they can be easily relocated should the spatial requirements change. The corridor walls are optimized in terms of sound and fire protection with cladding made of plasterboard, especially in the area of the shaft walls in which the building services are installed.

    Standardized systems with tested performance values
    Rigips now has a catalog of hundreds of tested standard constructions for walls, ceilings and cladding. Their sound and fire protection, but also static and climatic properties vary depending on the height, structure and possibly the combination of systems with one another. It is therefore advisable to speak to drywall specialists from the earliest planning phase. In the case of larger projects in particular, Rigips' key project management, the consultant for planners and investors, can provide information on energy efficiency, life cycle assessment and moisture protection in addition to the relevant planning parameters for wall, ceiling and floor constructions. All construction variants can be called up in a clear system finder at www.rigips.ch. The systems are without exception in accordance with the applicable standards (EN, SIA) resp. Institutions (EMPA, VKF) tested and certified.

    When space requirements change
    In our fast-paced society, space requirements are constantly changing. This can also be the case in a hotel. In order to remain attractive in the long term, a property must be able to react to changing needs and spatial dimensions. If you invest in a flexible construction method with as few load-bearing elements as possible, a wide variety of needs in the construction of the property, but also changes within the existing building envelope, can be implemented with little cost and time. Rigips® and Alba® drywall systems offer maximum freedom of planning and use. ■
