Raegipark topping-out ceremony: work progressing according to plan
The ambitious "Rägipark" construction project at Althardstrasse 30 in Regensdorf is taking more and more shape despite numerous challenges. And is on schedule despite challenges such as the corona pandemic, the Ukraine war and supply chain interruptions. The building owners Allianz Versicherungs-Gesellschaft AG and Allianz ebensversicherungs-Gesellschaft AG as well as the real estate service provider HRS Real Estate AG as the total contractor thanked those involved in the construction project with a topping-out ceremony.
After several years of planning and preparation and after obtaining the building permit, the demolition work of the existing “Revox building” could be carried out from May 2021. The shell construction with excavation started in August 2021. In the meantime, the finishing work is already well advanced. Reason enough to thank the approximately 150 assembled craftsmen and women as well as those involved in the project for their tireless efforts with a topping-out ceremony. For Christoph Keller of HRS Real, a “stage success on the way to the future” was achieved. He pointed out the impressive dimensions of the construction project: around 2,500 tonnes of steel and around 20,000m3 of concrete were used. “That corresponds to around 2 million watering cans,” he added with a wink in his speech. “Rägipark is also something we can be proud of in terms of aesthetic quality and sustainability.”
Great demand thanks to successful marketing
On the way to the goal, there were numerous obstacles to overcome, such as the Corona pandemic, the Ukraine war, delivery delays for building materials and construction materials, as well as general inflation, which made construction difficult, as the overall project manager of Allianz
Suisse Immobilien AG, Kurt Hadorn, emphasised: “The fact that the client’s specifications regarding quality, deadlines and construction costs were largely met is not a matter of course,” the construction professional praised those involved in the project and the trades. “The result
demand for the rental flats and commercial space is high
great. I am pleased that Rägipark will soon be filled with life.” The work will be completed and handed over to the building owners in two stages at the end of November 2023 and the end of December 2023. The marketing of the flats is already well advanced
advanced. Of a total of 204 flats, 200 have already been let. Marketing of the commercial and office space is also proceeding successfully, with leases already signed for around 70%. For Allianz Suisse, the project realised together with HRS as general contractor is one of the largest construction projects in the company’s history, with a total investment volume of around CHF 120 million.
