    Residential development in Wädenswil reaches important milestone

    Halter AG has reached an important milestone in the AuPark project in Wädenswil, the Schlieren-based property developer announced in a post on LinkedIn. Specifically, the first stage of the development was handed over to the client Swiss Life Asset Managers on schedule. The second stage should be completed by 30 March next year.

    In the AuPark project, five apartment blocks and commercial buildings with a total of 300 flats are being built around the eponymous central AuPark. The client, Swiss Life Asset Managers, is having some of the flats built as affordable housing. The first 120 flats are now available to their new residents with the completion of the first phase. A number of commercial spaces were also completed in the first phase. Coop will be setting up a branch on one of them.

  • New energy network to support the city of Wädenswil’s net-zero target

    New energy network to support the city of Wädenswil’s net-zero target

    Energie 360° and the city of Wädenswil want to contribute to the city’s net-zero target with an energy network. Specifically, the plan is to utilise the water of Lake Zurich to generate renewable heat, the Zurich-based energy supplier announced in a press release. To this end, the two partners intend to set up Energieverbund Wädenswil AG, in which the city of Wädenswil will hold a 51 per cent stake and Energie 360° a 49 per cent stake.

    On 9 February, the voters of Wädenswil gave the green light to the plans to establish the energy association with 66.04 percent of the votes, according to the press release. “The city of Wädenswil is investing in the future,” city mayor Philipp Kutter is quoted as saying. “A clean energy supply benefits everyone and reduces our dependence on fossil fuels.”

    The plans include two underground energy centres in the new Gessner site and at the Rietlau car park. Excess waste heat from the Rietlau wastewater treatment plant will also be used in the second energy centre. Energie 360° also wants to integrate its Untermosen heating network, which has been in operation in Wädenswil since 2011, into the new network.

    “Utilising the locally available energy from Lake Zurich for the energy supply makes ecological and economic sense,” says Energie 360° CEO Jörg Wild. If everything goes according to plan, the first customers will be able to obtain renewable heat from the network as early as 2026. In its final stage, the network is expected to avoid emissions of around 15,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.

  • From A for Altstetten to W for Wädenswil

    From A for Altstetten to W for Wädenswil

    Manufakt creates a brand that stands for modular building complexes with flexible use by high-value, manufacturing industries. Manufakt is characterized by its local roots as well as regional and national networking. The powerful and clear structures radiate the greatest possible physical presence. In addition to a concise external effect, Manufakt always focuses on the corresponding internal effect and specifically focuses on modular and networked open spaces and atmosphere. On July 1, 2021, the imposing Manufakt8048 commercial property, which was built on one of the last vacant industrial sites in the city of Zurich, was officially opened after around one and a half years of construction. The building, which is located directly on the track field at Zurich Altstetten station and was built for the client Swisscanto Investment Foundation, is exemplary. Because with the innovative concept and the Manufakt brand, Steiner AG is bringing commercial and service companies back to the city.

    The Manufakt concept can be applied to several locations.

    Curated networking
    “For us, Manufakt stands for quality craftsmanship of the future, for Industry 4.0, the digitization of industrial production,” says Peter Herzog, Head of Real Estate Development for Zurich at Steiner. The “curated networking” of the Manufakt buildings is to be understood in a double sense: in addition to the digital, the analogue networking in the building, which takes place in particular via the open courtyard, is to be promoted. And Othmar Ulrich, Head of Real Estate Development Region East, adds: “We offer industry and commerce an environment that gives tenants the opportunity to further expand their network. We imagine that the buildings will be played with a choreography. ” The manufacturing concept is currently also being used in Wädenswil and Winterthur. In Wädenswil (Appital area), a development for trade, research and offices will be built by 2024. The name was chosen based on the postcode of Wädenswil Au: Manufakt8804.
