Schlieren North East interest group founded for site development
Building lease holders and property owners have founded IG Schlieren Nord Ost. The association aims to actively help shape the development of the area and pool the interests of property owners.
The interest group (IG) Schlieren Nord Ost has been founded. According to a press release from the city of Schlieren, the aim of the association is to actively help shape the development of the area. The residential, industrial, commercial and innovation area on Rüti-/Ifangstrasse in Schlieren is one of the city’s largest development sites alongside the Wagiareal and Rietpark. The new interest group intends to pool the interests of the owners and clarify the zoning plan with the city of Schlieren and the future extension of the building lease agreements with the city of Zurich in partnership at an early stage, the statement continues.
“I have maintained very good contacts with the City of Zurich for a quarter of a century, but – like many other things – these fell asleep during and after coronavirus. However, as the city of Zurich owns over 200,000 square metres of building land in the city of Schlieren, I would like to revive these contacts over the next 14 months,” Albert Schweizer, the city of Schlieren’s location promoter, is quoted as saying. The aim is to extend the building lease agreements, which run until around 2040, by 30 years in order to create planning security for future generations. There is the possibility of attracting more companies and creating new jobs.
The planned membership of the regional location promotion organisation Limmatstadt AG is intended to further expand regional networking, according to the city press release. Joint events are also planned with other sites in Schlieren and the Limmat Valley, such as Silbern, Niderfeld in Dietikon and Kreuzäcker in Spreitenbach.
According to the press release, building lease holders and property owners met on Wednesday, 5 March, at the Innovation and Young Entrepreneur Centre(IJZ) in Schlieren to found the interest group. As part of the foundation, representatives from the Canton of Zurich’s Civil Engineering Office and the energy company ewz presented plans for the cycle path and the district heating substation in the eastern part of the site.
