With the winning project from CF Møller Architects resulting from the study, a modern and representative office building is being created. It is consistently oriented towards the lake and the lake promenade. Most noticeable are the storey-high glass surfaces and the canopies, which will be equipped with photovoltaic modules. The building will also meet high energy requirements, which is underlined by the desired LEED Platinum label. After the various requirements from the building permit have been met and the building permit has been received, the dismantling and renovation work is currently taking place. Since the property was built in 1974, the work also includes the professional disposal of asbestos-containing materials. A task that is demanding and time-consuming. A special challenge in the construction
ruktion is also the merging of the different design of the finishing details of the terrace and parapet. And last but not least, the construction site is in the inner-city area, which also brings logistical challenges with it.
Basic renovation
Bellerivestrasse 36 is a reference property for Allreal, as on the one hand it meets high standards in the field of sustainable building. This is evidenced by the desired LEED Platinum label. the
PV systems will also help to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels in the company’s portfolio of investment properties. Allreal wants to halve the proportion of fossil fuels in its portfolio by 2030. On the other hand, Bellerivestrasse 36 is also an example of Allreal’s business model. The property was operated as an investment property until the end of last year. When the anchor tenant moved out, it was possible to fundamentally renovate the building. In-house project development then carried out a study contract, then specified CF Møller’s winning project and made it ready for construction. The Realization division is currently implementing the project. From summer 2023, the property will then be occupied by the new tenants and reintegrated into the portfolio of investment properties and managed by Allreal. The company thus covers the entire value creation process from a single source.
Lots of flexibility
“In addition to the exclusive location directly on Lake Zurich and the collaboration with a foreign architect, the high quality of materials and details of the components used are extremely attractive,” says project manager Alain Granwehr from Allreal. “The facade in particular, with its protruding canopies and the photovoltaic elements mounted on it, is a challenge in the construction process”. The pandemic is changing user needs. A clear picture is not yet emerging. At the moment, many customers are still unsure which long-term changes will prevail in connection with the demands on the workplace, says Allreal on request. However, the company has not noticed any decline in demand, particularly for properties in very good locations. The property at Bellerivestrasse 36 will also benefit from this. In addition, once the modernization has been completed, the commercial building will be able to be operated as a multi-tenant property and thus offers a great deal of flexibility.
