Positive building permit decision for the Heinrich-Areal in Zurich

A positive building permit decision has been issued for the residential and commercial project on the Heinrich-Areal in Zurich. The project, developed by Tellco Real Estate Ltd. for Tellco Investment Foundation, has thus reached an important milestone on the path towards realisation.

In the immediate vicinity of the viaduct arches, a forward-looking project is being created in Zurich, combining modern residential space, attractive commercial areas and sustainable urban development. The plans include 106 modern apartments as well as around 2,000 m² of commercial space. The project therefore contributes to the further development of a vibrant, urban location in the heart of Zurich.

 

Heinrich-Areal

 

An important step towards realisation

With the positive building permit decision, a key basis has been established for the next steps. Further work towards realisation has already been set in motion. The first preparatory measures are expected to begin later this year.

The focus will be on reuse assessments, careful dismantling work and the sustainable further development of the site. Existing building components will be systematically assessed and, where possible, reused. This approach helps conserve resources and meaningfully integrate existing materials into the further course of the project.

 

 

Sustainability as a central element

Sustainability plays an important role in the Heinrich-Areal. The project is designed to combine ecological, social and economic aspects. In addition to contemporary living space, commercial premises will also be created, contributing to the mix of uses and vibrancy of the neighbourhood.

Particular attention is being paid to resource-efficient and environmentally conscious implementation. This includes the careful selection of materials, durable constructions and the conscious use of building materials with the lowest possible environmental impact. In this way, sustainability is consistently taken into account not only in the planning, but also in the subsequent realisation of the project.

 

Urban living and working at Zurich’s viaduct

The Heinrich-Areal is situated in an attractive location in the immediate vicinity of the viaduct arches and the market hall in Zurich’s District 5. The surroundings are characterised by urban life, good accessibility and a diverse mix of uses. The location therefore offers ideal conditions for a project that combines living, working and urban life.

 

Together for the future of the Heinrich-Areal

Tellco Real Estate Ltd. is developing the project for Tellco Investment Foundation. With the Heinrich-Areal, another step is being taken towards sustainable, urban living and working in Zurich.

The positive building permit decision confirms the chosen path and creates the basis for the next phase of the project. Tellco Real Estate Ltd. and Tellco Investment Foundation look forward to continuing the development of the Heinrich-Areal and taking the next steps towards its realisation.
