Unique office space in the heart of Basel
A place for innovation and the "future of work" is being created in Basel's city center: Office space with special highlights for modern working models will be created by summer 2025.
By summer 2025, office, retail and restaurant space will be created in the listed building of the former main post office, which not only has a unique location, but also meets the criteria of a good work-life balance: Working, shopping, enjoying - all in one place with the shortest distances to the pulse of urban life. The historic façade has been preserved, while the interior of the building shines in new splendor: flooded with light, spacious and inspiring with numerous meeting zones.
Office space with a view
The client, AXA Investment Foundation, is working on this exciting construction project with the renowned Basel architects Herzog & de Meuron. Since August 2023, 7,900 m2 of office, restaurant and retail space has been created within the historic walls. The preservation of the façade and the renovation of the interior create a harmonious blend of history and modernity. The existing building will be retained and become a center for contemporary and innovative uses. A new light-flooded inner courtyard surrounds the office space, which extends from the 1st to the 5th floor. A total of 5,000 m² of well-designed city center offices are on offer. On the top two floors, there are also special areas with outdoor access and breathtaking views, which can be used individually.
Meeting place in the counter hall
Following the refurbishment, a meeting place will be created in the former main post office counter hall which, together with the high-quality designed passageway and the office lobby, will form the heart of the building.
The passageway fulfills several important functions: On the one hand, it connects Freie Strasse with Gerbergasse and on the other, it provides access to the upper floors. Sustainability, history and modernity combined in a city of short distances. The Basel Main Post Office will become a symbol of an innovative working environment and offers ideal space for companies looking for modern offices in a building steeped in history in the most central location in Basel.
