    Bank Thalwil inaugurates new headquarters

    Bank Thalwil welcomes its customers in Thalwil with immediate effect at its new headquarters at Gotthardstrasse 14, Bank Thalwil Genossenschaft informs in a statement. The premises include open offices and meeting rooms, a new ATM zone and a safe deposit facility that can be used around the clock. “Bank Thalwil is a great enrichment for our lakeside community and gives the new centre, which is being built around Centralplatz, a characteristic face,” Thalwil’s municipal council president Hansruedi Kölliker is quoted as saying in the statement.

    The bank is also introducing a new way of working at its new headquarters. Instead of individual offices, services will be provided in open offices without fixed workstations. Customer meetings will take place in the meeting rooms gardening, carpentry, weaving, plumbing and painting. Bank Thalwil explains that the name is intended to create a direct link to traditional crafts.

    At the opening celebrations from 11 to 13 May, the bank counted around 3500 visitors. They were offered guided tours of the premises, accompanied by readings from the book “Thalwiler Geldgeschichten” (Thalwil Money Stories), face painting for children and a snack. “During the bank tours, which were completely booked out or partly overbooked, we were inundated with compliments and congratulations,” explains bank boss Sandro Meichtry. “I am very much looking forward to the new premises and the new way of working.”

    Energie 360° starts construction of the Tiefenbrunnen energy network

    The Zurich-based energy supplier Energie 360° will start building the Tiefenbrunnen energy network on July 25. According to a press release , by 2030, 5,300 residents in Tiefenbrunnen will be using renewable energy from Lake Zurich. Energie 360° is investing CHF 60 million in the new energy network.

    From July, work on the construction of the lake water catchment and the underground energy center is to begin. The energy center is being built under the parking lot at the Zürichhorn. According to the information, the first lines of the heating network are to be laid in the coming year. From 2024, the first of a total of 400 properties will be connected to the new heat supply.

    The Tiefenbrunnen network is an important building block on the way to becoming a climate-neutral city. Zurich aims to reach net zero by 2040. Heat from the lake represents a “climate-friendly, secure supply alternative” to heat from gas heating.

    After completion of the energy network and the resulting replacement of fossil heating, Zurich will save 6,500 tons per year. That is as much CO2 as 290,000 trees could filter out of the air every year.

    Energie 360° wants to shut down the gas network wherever climate-friendly heating solutions will be created in the next few years. Further energy networks using lake water are being developed for Zurich-Lengg, Zurich-Wollishofen and Thalwil.

    “The City of Zurich is driving the transformation forward consistently and quickly together with its energy supply companies,” Silvia Banfi Frost, Energy Commissioner for the City of Zurich, is quoted as saying in the press release.

    Thalwil: development with rail connection

    The “Talevo” project is to create sales and office space in the existing goods shed on the eastern part of Thalwil train station. In addition, attic apartments or offices are planned to be added. In addition to the goods shed, an architecturally and energetically high-quality residential complex is planned, which – according to the project managers – should be optimally networked with the quarters. Sales and office space are planned on the ground floor. There are also plans to plant around thirty trees on Bahnhofstrasse, creating an avenue-like character. The Thalwil voters will vote on it at one of the next community meetings. ■
