  • Effretikon has big plans

    Effretikon has big plans

    The town of Illnau-Effretikon, which is located on the Zurich-Winterthur transport axis and has around 17,500 inhabitants, has big plans: after a planning phase lasting several years, the groundbreaking ceremony for the development of the center in Effretikon took place in 2022.

    The basis for this is formed by the master plans “Central development of the West Station” and “Area development of the East Station”. These provide for a densification through the mixed use of apartments and commercial space and are intended to strengthen Effretikon’s function as a regional center.

    With around 750 new residential units and 20,000 square meters for offices and public-facing businesses, living space and work space are being created in the immediate vicinity of the easily accessible and highly frequented train station. Among other things, this is intended to achieve the goals set out in the urban development model for increasing the number of jobs and the population. The private development projects are supplemented with public buildings such as the new city garden and smaller squares and contribute to increasing the quality of life in the center. In addition, local public transport will be optimized with the relocation and new construction of the bus station.

    In a first stage, the concretely planned or already approved construction projects Rütlihof, Rütlistrasse, Rosenhof, Rosenweg including bus station, station square and city garden will be realized by 2027. In a second stage, the conversion of the Effimärt shopping center and the development of the Hinterbüel area are to take place. Most of the center development is expected to be completed by 2030.

    The builders include the Bereuter Group, Mettler2Invest, R. Fuchs Partner AG / Trade Tool AG, the OASE Group, the Zurich Investment Foundation, Habitat 8000 AG and the city of Illnau-Effretikon. Siska Immobilien AG is responsible for the Effimärt shopping center.

    Parallel to the structural development, the city intends to revitalize the center in Effretikon with various measures. An attractive offer of the public-oriented trade should, in connection with the above-mentioned public lounge areas, also encourage more people from outside to spend their time in Effretikon. Together with the new residential and commercial areas, the shops are likely to benefit from higher consumer potential in the future.

    This is what the center of Effretikon could look like in a few years: after several years of planning, the first construction work has begun.
