Halter realises BirsTower high-rise project in Muttenz
Halter AG will realise the 73-metre-high BirsTower as part of the development of the former Hagnau West commercial site in Muttenz. The investor is Rietpark Immobilien AG.
Schlieren-based property developer Halter AG is to build a high-rise building on the former Hagnau West commercial site in Muttenz, according to a press release. The BirsTower will offer a combination of residential and commercial space and will also include condominiums.
The conclusion of the building lease agreement marks a further step in the development of the new Hagnau West neighbourhood, according to the press release. Rietpark Immobilien AG in Kriens LU, as investor and developer, will realise the 73-metre-high BirsTower with a gross floor area of 16,150 square metres on the 4446 square metre site with Halter AG as realisation partner.
The Kunsthaus Baselland Foundation, as the owner of the site, looked for a suitable buyer through an investor tender and decided in favour of Rietpark Immobilien AG. According to the press release, the Kunsthaus Baselland has found a new location after 25 years at its site in Muttenz.
The property in Muttenz is located directly on the cantonal border with Basel-Stadt. The neighbourhood is very well connected thanks to its proximity to the motorway and public transport links. The proximity to the Birs and the connection to the nearby Schänzli green and exercise area offer additional added value, according to the press release.
The Swiss Sustainable Building Standard (SNBS) with the Gold label or an equivalent standard for sustainable construction with the approval of the municipal council will be used for all buildings in the neighbourhood. The project will be realised according to the design-build model of partnership-based construction in order to achieve the sustainability goal.
