Halter establishes competence centre for urban development and architecture
Halter AG is establishing a new competence center within the company. It will focus on urban planning and architecture. The setup is expected to begin in April.
Schlieren-based real estate developer Halter is creating a new centre of excellence for urban planning and architecture. According to a press release, it will be set up within the company under the responsibility of Christof Glaus, former Senior Partner at Stücheli Architekten in Zurich. The centre will support the areas of developments, overall services and renovations, particularly in the early strategic phases of project development. The establishment of the competence centre is scheduled to begin in April.
As a Halter Group company, Halter AG shares the vision of establishing a circular economy in order to achieve the net-zero sustainability target for all projects. This requires a structural change in the property and construction industry that promotes and demands integrated collaboration models, the company continues.
The new team for urban development and architecture is directly affiliated to the CEO of Halter AG and supports the areas of development, overall services and renovations in the early strategic phases of project development with urban development and architectural feasibility studies. The close and cooperative partnership with external, recognised urban planners, architects and open space planners remains of central importance.
“In Christof Glaus, we have gained a renowned urban planner and architect who has been responsible for many outstanding designs and their realisation during his successful career,” says Maik Neuhaus, CEO of Halter AG. Glaus’ skills as a jury member or chairman of numerous competitions are also undisputed.
