  • The former cantonal hospital becomes an urban oasis

    The former cantonal hospital becomes an urban oasis

    The winning project by Credit Suisse Investment Foundation and HRS Real Estate AG was selected as part of a two-stage competition process. It combines public space, commerce, gastronomy and various forms of housing to create a neighbourhood that will be lively around the clock.

    Living, working and recreation combined
    The development plan allows for a balanced mix of uses, making the neighbourhood attractive for different target groups. There are plans for 272 flats, 50% of which will be affordable, as well as a boutique hotel in the listed south wing of the old hospital. Additional areas for catering, commerce and public services will create a diverse offering. The “Süd-See Hub” construction area in particular is geared towards public uses and is set to become a popular meeting place.

    Open space design takes centre stage
    The “Süd-See Zug – für üs alli” concept focuses on open spaces to make the neighbourhood more attractive. The “Stadthof” as a central square opens up to the lake and connects the old town with the water. A public roof garden, green courtyards and squares offer additional space for recreation and quality of stay. The lakeside terrace and the park promote biodiversity and create a connection to nature.

    A well thought-out process
    The detailed development phase begins once the building lease has been signed. The Credit Suisse Investment Foundation, together with HRS Real Estate AG, will assume responsibility for the realisation of the architectural competition. This exciting project illustrates how a historic site can be transformed into a lively and inviting environment through innovative solutions and planning. The transformation of the former Zug Cantonal Hospital will not only enrich the architectural landscape of the city, but will also make an essential contribution to the quality of life of the population and further strengthen Zug’s position as a sought-after place to live and work.

  • Green light for the Unterfeld project in Baar

    Green light for the Unterfeld project in Baar

    The subfield is one of the last large contiguous building land reserves and has been declared a cantonal agglomeration area. The location directly on the municipal boundary between Baar and Zug is adjacent to the Lorze recreation zone and offers a lot of development potential. But sometimes such comprehensive concepts need more than one try. This is also the case with the Unterfeld area planning: After the population of Baar had spoken out against cross-border planning in spring 2017, the “Unterfeld Süd” project was waved through in September 2020 in the second attempt by the voters with 65 percent yes-votes.

    The project was redeveloped under the leadership of the Baar municipality and in a team of 50. The team consisted of experts from the fields of urban development and landscape architecture, representatives of the authorities and landowners as well as residents, supporters and opponents of the earlier project, members of specialist committees and associations as well as local parties.

    Building on the district design plan, the zoning plan and the building regulations have been coordinated. An agreement has been reached on the construction of a sustainable quarter that enables new ways of living, living and working. Four building sites are being built over in stages. Rental apartments and condominiums are planned. The creation of office and service areas as well as public-oriented uses on some of the ground floors are also planned. A neighborhood square, a spacious boulevard for non-motorized traffic and a lot of green space ensure sufficient open space. Three high-rise buildings with heights of 60, 50 and 40 meters are to be built.

    The architecture competition for the first construction phase has already started. The Baar municipal assembly is expected to decide on the development plan in 2022. The first groundbreaking is unlikely to take place before summer 2023. First of all, the 60-meter high-rise near the Lindenpark S-Bahn station and the neighboring office building are to be built. The other construction areas are being developed further in parallel.

    The owners are Implenia Immobilien AG, Ina Invest AG and the Stocker heirs. Implenia is responsible for the site development. The company is developing plots 1A and 4 as the owner and plots 1B and 3 on behalf of Ina Invest. The two local housing cooperatives, the Baar family and the Liberale Baar cooperative, continue to show interest. The Zug corporation is planning a project in the city of Zug independently of the other landowners. How this will look is still open.
