    Both the municipalities and the canton of Zug are constantly evolving and adapting to the requirements.

  • Attractive residential and commercial mix with industrial charm

    Attractive residential and commercial mix with industrial charm

    Cotton yarns were produced on the Bühler site for over 160 years. At the end of 2016, the spinning mill was shut down in order to give the site a new purpose: an attractive residential and commercial area. In the process, the four industrial buildings (spinning mill, bale warehouse, factory and power plant) will be converted into flats as well as flexibly usable commercial spaces and a bistro.

    The “factory” and the “bale warehouse” are intended for individual commercial uses. Built in the 1980s, the factory halls are ideal for production, workshops, laboratories and training rooms. Generous windows and gates on the southwest façade provide natural light and direct access to the halls. Offices and studios are housed in the former service wing. An underground car park with around 100 parking spaces has been created in the basement. The bale warehouse can be used as an unheated workshop or storage area.

    A diverse mix of flats will be built in the “Spinnerei” by 2026: 89 loft-like flats are planned, which will be built according to Minergie standards. Seven flats in terraced house style extend over three floors. They have a garden, a balcony and a direct view of the Töss. The mezzanine floor of the spinning mill building, which dates back to 1860, is partly intended for commercial use and is accessed via a platform. The “power plant” continues to generate renewable energy from hydropower. The adjoining former energy centre will be converted into a bistro.

    The owners attach great importance to preserving the historical heritage and industrial charm of the site. The site scores with its good location: Winterthur city centre is just a few minutes away – the airport and the city of Zurich can be reached in half an hour by car or train. The “Sennhof-Kyburg” S-Bahn connection is only 400 metres away. And yet the future residential and commercial quarter is located directly on the banks of the Töss and offers an unobstructed view of the Kyburg.

  • Energie 360° launches sustainable project for Zurich-Lengg and Zollikon

    Energie 360° launches sustainable project for Zurich-Lengg and Zollikon

    Energie 360° will start construction work on a new energy network on Monday, 17 April. According to a media release, the energy provider, together with the Lengg health cluster and the municipality of Zollikon, wants to heat and cool clinics and urban residential areas with climate-friendly Lake Zurich water from 2027. Zollikon still has to vote on whether to join the network.

    Regarding the suitability of the planning area for such a solution, the press release states that several large health care institutions and residential areas are located close to each other in the Lengg district of Zurich. This is an ideal prerequisite for an energy network to heat and cool the clinics, institutes and flats in a climate-friendly way. The water is to be collected in Lake Zurich near Zollikon and piped to Lengg.

    In addition to the health cluster and two urban residential areas with around 100 flats, the project will also be the starting signal for the construction of a district heating network in Zollikon, according to the energy company. It should then be possible to supply heating and cooling in Lengg and Zollikon for the first time from 2027. According to Energie 360°, the investment sum for the Lengg energy network is around 90 million Swiss francs.

    The health cluster will be the largest hospital landscape in Europe to use climate-neutral energy, it continues. This would save up to 10,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year at the hospitals alone. This is equivalent to the exhaust gases from the use of about 4 million litres of fossil fuel oil.

    Energie 360° has set itself the goal of supplying its customers exclusively with renewable energy by 2040.
