Development of the area of the former canton hospital

Zug, October 2020

The area of the former canton hospital in the city of Zug is centrally located on Lake Zug. An architecture competition will be announced for the development in 2021.

The area to be built is only a few minutes' walk from Zug's old town and has excellent development potential, writes the building construction department of the canton of Zug in a message. There is a legally valid development plan for the area. This includes various construction areas with public uses, gastronomy and hotel uses, apartments and old-age living. In a two-stage competition process, a suitable team of investors, operators and planners is to be evaluated in order to find a competitive building lease offer and the best development concept for the area.

Submit a binding offer
In the current phase 1b “shortlist”, the teams selected from phase 1a “prequalification” would be given the opportunity to deepen their proposals and submit a binding offer for building permits. After the legally binding construction contract and the development agreement between the canton and the investor of the winning concept have been concluded, the latter will take responsibility for the implementation of stage 2 «architectural competition / study contract». In doing so, the project is to be evaluated, which is able to implement the framework conditions of the development plan as well as the selected development concept from the 1st stage, writes the building department. ■
