Riedholz: Green light for Attisholz holder project
Halter AG can develop the Attisholz site in Riedholz, one of the largest brownfield sites in Switzerland. The canton of Solothurn has approved the land use planning.
The approval of the land-use planning represents a milestone for the Attisholz site, according to landowner and developer Halter. This lays the legal foundation for developing the former industrial site into a new quarter over the next 25 years.
According to Halter, the next project steps concern the use of public spaces and the area surrounding the site. The results of the "open space" study should be available in February 2022. In addition, the planning of the infrastructure facilities for public transport, municipal buildings such as schools and daycare centers, and the general supply and disposal systems is being prepared.
Halter wants to redevelop the site on the Aare, where the Attisholz cellulose factory was in operation until 2008, in stages. By 2045, 1,200 apartments and 50,000 sqm of commercial space as well as 170,000 sqm of public boulevards, promenades and squares are to be created. The focus is on residential, work, commercial, gastronomy, cultural and educational uses. (ah)
