Gümligen: Business apartments planned on Mattenstrasse

Glandon Apartments, operator of temporary furnished apartments, is currently represented at six locations in the canton of Bern. A seventh location is to be added next year at Mattenstrasse 6 in Gümligen; Glandon plans to start renting on January 1, 2021.

The building is currently being converted, Glandon says. Office space on three floors will be converted into furnished apartments; eight 2-room apartments are planned for each floor. According to the company, the rent includes utilities and services such as Internet access and a cleaning service every two weeks.

The reason for the expansion was high occupancy, the company said. Unlike other cities, Glandon's apartments in Bern were around 95% occupied during the Corona lockdown, said Severin Glanzmann, founder and CEO of the company. He said this confirmed his belief that Bern has not yet exhausted its potential.

According to Glandon, the location in Gümligen is well connected to major centers: Mattenstrasse is located directly next to the Gümligen train station and is only a few minutes' walk from the S-Bahn station. The area is also well connected to the highway, and all stores for daily needs are within walking distance. (ah)
