    Two women strengthen the board of the SVSM

    At the General Assembly of the Swiss Association for Site Management ( SVSM ) in Baden on March 31, the members elected two new board members: Jasmina Ritz and Katharina Hopp. According to the announcement on the association’s website , the general assembly took place as part of the SVSM Dialogue Site Management 2022 in the garden hall of the Villa Boveri in Baden. During the dialogue, more than 30 people followed the practical presentations on site management in Baden, in the Wil region and in Upper Valais.

    With the election of Jasmina Ritz, Managing Director of the Limmatstadt AG location promotion, there are now three Limmattal residents on the seven-strong SVSM board. President Beny Ruhstaller is also head of the office of the Niderfeld landowners’ association, Albert Schweizer is a founding member of the SVSM and head of Schlieren location promotion.

    When asked, Ritz explains her motivation for the position on the board: “I would like to campaign for more visibility and awareness of our profession, to make our performance and impact more recognizable. Our work cannot be reduced to company settlements. We are designers, drive projects forward, bring people together, open doors and are ambassadors for our locations.”

    Katharina Hopp, who was also elected to the SVSM board, worked until 2021 as head of site development at the Baselland location promotion. From summer 2022 she will work at AXA Investment Managers as an ESG/Asset Management Analyst.

    The development on Untere Bahnhofstrasse 1-11 is the result of a study commission to meet the high architectural and site planning requirements at this location, which is important in terms of traffic engineering and construction. The location between the railway tracks and Unterer Bahnhofstrasse placed high demands on the organization and floor plans in terms of emissions, living hygiene and quality of living: "In Eastern Switzerland, the first development of this size is being built here, which will be certified for a 2000 watt area," says the project manager Stefan Schreiber from real estate developer Mettler2Invest AG. "The new building eliminates a problem at the train station that has been referred to as a 'scand stain' in the local press for years."

    A new, covered two-wheeler parking facility for over 600 bicycles is being built in the basement. This is operated by the city of Wil and is directly connected to the SBB pedestrian underpass. With 100 units from 1½ to 5½ rooms, the complex offers a wide range of living space, suitable for single households, couples, families and senior citizens. 4100 m2 of space is available for office, service and retail use. The central location directly on the station square and on platform 1 of the SBB offers tenants and customers very good public access. The building is architecturally and economically a lighthouse project for Wil.
