Das bekannte Warenhaus Jelmoli steht vor einem umfassenden Wandel. Bis Ende 2024 wird der Betrieb weitergeführt. Der Umbau startet Anfang 2025 und wird 2027 voraussichtlich beendet sein. Das Gebäude wird in eine moderne, multifunktionale Immobilie verwandelt. Swiss Prime Site investiert über 100 Millionen CHF, um das Jelmoli-Haus zu einer lebendigen, urbanen Begegnungsstätte zu machen.
Dabei reduziert sich die Verkaufsfläche auf das Erd- und Untergeschoss sowie allenfalls Teile des ersten Obergeschosses. Die Umgestaltung bringt Vielfalt in Form von Verkaufsflächen, Gastronomie, Büros und Freizeiteinrichtungen. Diese Transformation macht das Gebäude belebter für die Stadt, bewahrt die historische Bedeutung und setzt dabei auf Nachhaltigkeit.
Durch die Umgestaltung des bisher brachliegenden Dachs zu einem öffentlich zugänglichen Raum mit Grünflächen, wird das Jelmoli-Haus zu einer urbanen Oase mitten in der Zürcher Innenstadt. Die neu geschaffene Vielfalt an Verkaufsflächen, Gastronomie, Büros und Freizeiteinrichtungen zieht nicht nur Kunden an, sondern macht das Gebäude auch zu einem beliebten Treffpunkt. Die Investition in die Umwandlung des Jelmoli-Hauses zeigt das Engagement von Swiss Prime Site für eine nachhaltige und lebendige Stadtentwicklung.

Real estate summit sheds light on change
The topic of change was already the focus of this year's Real Estate Summit of Flughafenregion Zürich AG ( FRZ ) in the opening speech by André Ingold. Specifically, the newly elected President of the FRZ presented the around 20 major construction projects planned or under construction in the airport region, explained the FRZ in a communication on the event. Ingold had highlighted the planned Steinacker district in Kloten as an example. An urban area for 6,700 residents and 4,000 employees is to be created here along the Glattalbahn.
The FRZ was able to win the longstanding Federal Minister and former German Vice Chancellor (SPD), Sigmar Gabriel, as the main speaker. The former top politician, who was elected to the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Bank in May, addressed the challenges for Europe such as Brexit, the coronavirus pandemic and the trade war between the USA and China. With regard to Switzerland, Gabriel stated that the development of Switzerland indicated that “the path this country has taken so far has been the right one”. The country has "developed so well precisely because of the close and relaxed relationship with the EU," said Gabriel.
Tobias Straumann outlined his view of developments in the real estate market. "In the next one to two years the probability of a real estate crisis is zero," the economic historian is quoted as saying in the press release. According to him, there is no threat of an interest rate shock or “ruinous cutthroat competition”.
In other presentations, entrepreneurs such as André Wyss, CEO of Implenia AG , Christine Novakovic, CEO of UBS Europe SE , Romeo Deplazes, Division Manager Solutions and member of the management of Energie 360 ° AG , and Rudolf Tschopp, Partner at Asia Green Real Estate , presented the strategies their companies in dealing with the global transformation processes.

The Swiss construction industry needs to rethink
The almost complete study on the situation and future of the Swiss construction industry by PwC Switzerland was revised and updated in March in view of the Covid-19 pandemic and its economic effects. There was a clear change in future expectations. The assessments “since Covid-19” were derived from the additional feedback and these were compared with the original assessment “before Covid-19”, according to a press release from PwC Switzerland on the study . Only 58 percent of the 130 companies participating in the study are now positive (92 percent before Covid).
PwC Switzerland names its study “Make change, take with you what has been tried and tested”. Among other things, it says: “Only those who differentiate win. Creativity and a pioneering spirit are required. The construction industry is facing a paradigm shift towards more differentiation through networked collaboration. Digitization in particular offers interesting opportunities for this. It reduces interfaces, increases the quality of the planning and management processes and promotes the reduction of error costs and idle times in construction. "Covid-19 is likely to drive the" demolition of silo structures in the construction industry and the upcoming reorganization of rigid thought patterns. "
"Even before the crisis, it became clear that a paradigm shift was required in order to survive in construction – even though the Swiss construction industry will continue to play a major role in many areas of life in the future," said Roland Schegg, Director and Head of Consulting at Family businesses & SMEs at PwC Switzerland.
87 percent of companies see an opportunity in digitization, but only 62 percent give it a high priority. The use of digital technologies began years ago, according to PwC. But he is mostly limited to administration, marketing, communication or drawing the plans. It is necessary to digitize construction and operation as well. In particular, the planning and execution processes, which are often separated today, could be intelligently linked.
The construction industry in Switzerland contributes around 15 percent to the gross domestic product. Around 330,000 full-time positions are located in civil engineering. That corresponds to a third of all employees in the industrial sector.
