SBB decides on Renens-Entrepôts
Ferrari Architectes has won the study contract for the development of the SBB-CFF "Entrepôts" site in Renens in the Lausanne West agglomeration. The 15,000-square-meter site, located 300 meters from the train station, is currently used for commercial purposes and as a storage area, but by 2020 SBB-CFF, as the landowner, wants to create a new urban quarter there.
The project envisages around 200 apartments, office space, public facilities and commercial premises with a gross floor area of up to 37,000 sqm. By 2020, "Entrepôts" could be home to 30,000 to 40,000 people. According to press reports, it is also envisaged that a good 1,300 CFF employees, who until now have worked around the Lausanne train station, will move into two office buildings planned for the site.
The investment is estimated at CHF 150 million, 90 million of which will be covered by SBB-CFF. The building permits are expected to be issued in 2017. (ah)
