No density stress in Bülach
The four development partners Steiner AG, Baugenossenschaft Glattal Zurich, Logis Suisse AG and Steiner Investment Foundation are creating a piece of the city on the Glasi site that is alive and enables diverse encounters.
The new city quarter should be attractive for future residents as well as for the Bülach residents who are already living there. “An exciting quarter has been developed,” says Mark Eberli, Mayor of Bülach, “and it will work well with the good mix of residential and commercial.”
Urban density
The former glassworks area impresses with its excellent geographical location, right next to the train station and in close proximity to the feeder to the cantonal highway A51. A major challenge was to structure the high structural density with an appropriate urban and architectural concept so that an interesting and versatile living and working space is created in this urban location. Thanks to an alley-like development concept as well as an attractive and varied outdoor space with green areas and well thought-out neighborhood squares, the people in the Glasi Quarter will receive a valuable compensation for the structural density.
Move in from 2023
A broad mix of apartments is being created in the Glasi Quarter, including inexpensive cooperative apartments as well
Includes condominiums. These can be inhabited by singles, couples, families and shared apartments. Areas for retail and trade, a care center with apartments for the elderly, a charitable social institution and a day nursery are already let. A substantial proportion of commercial space offers space for shops, craft businesses, offices and restaurants. There are some impressions around.
