Zwicky site: construction starts on two new projects
On August 25, the groundbreaking ceremony was held for two new Halter AG projects on the Zwicky site in Wallisellen. Apartments and commercial space are being built in the "Zwicky Center", while the "Waldhaus NeuGuet" will offer apartments, a hotel, and retail, commercial and restaurant space.
The landowner and investor of the "Zwicky-Zentrum" is Anfos Immobilien AG of UBS Fund Management. A development with 194 rental apartments and eleven studios as well as 175 indoor and five outdoor parking spaces is being built for CHF 88 million. In addition to the residential use (13,700 sqm), around 2,500 sqm are planned for small-scale neighborhood stores, gastronomy areas and studio and store premises.
The new buildings were designed by the Zurich architectural firms giuliani.hönger and Zanoni Architekten and are intended to provide a deliberate contrast to the traditional existing buildings on the former industrial site.
High rise with hotel and apartments
The "Waldhaus NeuGuet" is being built between Burenholz in the north and the Zwicky Center in the south. The nearly 50-meter-high high-rise will offer 60 condominiums on the eighth to fourteenth floors after completion scheduled for November 2018. The four base floors will house a 120-room business hotel, and 40 rental apartments will be located on the middle floors. The condominiums (2.5 to 4.5 rooms) will have large, covered terraces with their own barbecue areas. Retail and commercial spaces as well as a gastropavilion are located on the first floor of the building designed by Ramser Schmid Architekten and face Seidenplatz and the Neugut stop of the Glattalbahn.
Residential use accounts for 13,000 sqm, the hotel comprises 5,300 sqm, plus around 800 sqm for retail, commercial and restaurant use, as well as 138 underground parking spaces and 32 surface parking spaces. The business hotel will be operated by the Austrian design hotel chain Harry's Home. The investment volume for the "Waldhaus NeuGuet" is around CHF 120 million; the investor is Rietpark Immobilien AG. (ah)
