    The event was opened by Landammann and Economics Director Urban Camenzind. In his speech, he explained the positive development of the past few years: “A lot is being invested in a very small area, and private and public investments are mutually beneficial. Examples of this are the development around the new cantonal railway station in Altdorf or the tourism development in Andermatt,” says Camenzind.

    In the following presentation, Christoph Bugnon, Chairman of the Board of Management of Urner Kantonalbank, discussed the important contribution that the company is making with the new service building to the development around the cantonal railway station. Raphael Krucker, CEO of Andermatt Swiss Alps, portrayed tourism development in Andermatt in his presentation.

    Finally, Mario Epp, Uri Business Development Agency, explained the advantages of the Uri economic area: «We have an optimal cost environment, short distances to the decision-makers and are excellently developed, directly on the European north-south axis. In short: the canton of Uri offers the best conditions for entrepreneurial success.»

    The subsequent network aperitif with the construction and real estate industry rounded off the event. The current issue of our magazine «immo!invest» is linked to the event. It aims to show the positive developments in the canton of Uri and to get people interested in Uri as a location.

    We look back with satisfaction on the 92nd immoTable Uri. It was a successful event and we would like to thank all participants. Thanks also go to Monika Schärer for the great moderation and our speakers Urban Camenzind, Christoph Bugnon, Raphael Krucker and Mario Epp for the interesting and stimulating presentations.

    Urner Kantonalbank – reliable partner for an attractive economic area

    The new headquarters of the Urner Kantonalbank (UKB) near the cantonal train station was occupied at the end of March 2022. The meticulously prepared rein action over three days was the long-awaited conclusion of a construction phase of around two and a half years. Various tenants of the new, five-storey service building have now also moved in. The occupancy rate of over 70% when the building was completed confirms the successful development of the location in the Uri valley floor and beyond. With the modern and attractive meeting place, the Urner Kantonalbank makes an important contribution to the new gateway to the canton of Uri in various roles. She is the client of the multifunctional building, an investor who sets economic impulses, a landlord who creates space for new companies and an employer who enables a modern and innovative working environment.

    UKB new building – lots of flexibility for everyone
    With the selected column-free construction of the entire ground floor and a glass proportion of the facade of 75%, which gives the workplaces plenty of light, the new building appears transparent and lively. The service building is certified according to the Minergie standard. In addition, the new building is connected to the district heating network of the Uri heating plant. The photovoltaic system on the roof will produce around 61,000 kWh of electricity, which corresponds to around 15 percent of the building’s total energy requirements. The flexible room layout on each floor allows for modern forms of work over a long period of time. At the same time, the flexibility promotes exchange, synergies and innovation. On the 1st floor there is a multifunctional hall for up to 99 people, which can be used for events and training not only by the permanent tenants. Of the total usable area of 6240 m², only a small area on the ground floor and 1st floor is still open for rent.

    Innovation biotope Uri – promotes innovation and education in the canton of Uri
    In recent years, a lot of work has been done in the canton of Uri to develop an attractive infrastructure for the further development of the canton in order to generate the best possible conditions for a growth market in the canton. With the upgrading of the Altdorf train station to a cantonal train station, the locational favor of the canton of Uri for new service, high-tech and commercial uses will be increased considerably, and many other opportunities for new economic impulses will arise.

    With the innovation biotope on the 3rd floor, the UKB and its partners from business, administration and politics are realizing a location for innovation and education. This is intended to serve as a nucleus for promoting innovation, education and research, but also as an organization for networking and procurement of resources for innovative companies covering the entire canton.
