An exciting summer 2018!

 

A summer of superlatives is slowly coming to an end. Despite the heat, we have made a lot of progress in recent weeks. We buried some foundation stones in Basel, began to develop a new quarter in Olten, summed up the experiences at the largest hotel in Zurich, presented good half-year figures and took on new challenges. Summer 2018 was exciting!

 

We wish you a good read!

The Stücki Park: A new business location for Basel

The foundation stone for the new office and laboratory space in Stücki Park was laid at the end of August 2018. This means that the existing space will be extended in two stages by four new buildings with offices and laboratories. Stücki Park will be a new business location for Basel by 2023. More than 4,000 people will then work on the site.

We met Ms Slegers and Asset Manager Reto Felder in the office of Rolf Schmid, whose association, swissbiolabs, hopes to attract life sciences startups to the region.

A budget designer hotel with 400 beds in the heart of Zürich. The news was already making waves before it opened last year. Tourists could hardly wait, the media and hoteliers were curious. How did the first twelve months go? Were expectations met and doubts dispelled? We met with Urs Vogel, the hotel’s manager, to take stock.
