    Bergdietikon grants building permit for retirement and care centre

    The Bergdietikon municipal council has given the green light for the construction of a retirement and care centre in the Hintermatt area, according to a statement from the Oase Group. Retirement flats and care places are to be built there. The building permit is expected to come into legal force at the end of May, according to the municipality’s press release.

    Planning for the Hintermatt retirement and care centre in the Kindhausen district of Bergdietik has been ongoing for around twelve years, according to the press release. It began with a municipal assembly and the sale of the land in Hintermatt to Oase Holding AG in Baar ZG. Oase submitted the planning application in November 2023.

    The Oase Group, based in Dübendorf ZH, currently operates a wide range of residential concepts in the areas of retirement living, assisted living, care for people in need of care and long-term and palliative care at eight locations throughout Switzerland, according to the company. A further seven projects, including Bergdietikon, are in the planning stage.

    According to the guideline project on which the design plan is based, Oase will build a centre with around 64 retirement flats and 45 care places. Seven parties objected to the planning application. After the public consultation was completed in summer 2024, several objection negotiations took place between the developer and the objectors. The negotiations were concluded before Easter and the municipal council issued the building permit at its meeting on 22 April, according to a statement from the municipality.

    According to the plans of the municipality and the Oase Group, the new retirement and care home is set to open in the fourth quarter of 2027.

  • Future-oriented residential development Hoffmatte in Thun

    Future-oriented residential development Hoffmatte in Thun

    The Hoffmatte site in Thun is an outstanding example of sustainable urban development that is geared towards the needs of people of all generations. The project comprises around 150 rental and owner-occupied flats, a nursing home with over 100 care places for the elderly, a daycare centre, a small shop and a neighbourhood café.

    The project has a long history. In February 2022, the Thun electorate voted 62 per cent in favour of the new “Hoffmatte” zone with planning obligation. After several years of legal proceedings, the Federal Supreme Court finally dismissed all appeals, meaning that the ZPP and the associated development regulations became legally binding in spring 2023.

    In May 2023, the Solina Foundation, as the operator of the care home, and Frutiger AG signed a cooperation agreement, thereby taking an important step towards the realisation of their joint project. With the decision of the Federal Supreme Court and the approval of the canton, the project has reached milestones that form a solid basis for the next development steps.

    With the development of the new residential project in Hoffmatte, the initiators are striving for a high quality of life. Thanks to the commitment of the various stakeholders, the project has now been given the necessary legal and planning framework to create new living space for the people of Thun.
