Angular business park with industrial charm
At Manufakt8409 near Winterthur-Hegi station, a new work and business park is being built on five floors and 7100 square metres. The angular commercial property defines the arrival point in the KIM district with its presence. The premises are designed for office, commercial and industrial use.
Those who network have more potential. This is the basis of the “Manufakt” concept developed by Steiner AG. It stands for modular building complexes with flexible use by high-value-added, manufacturing industries. Manufakt8409 is the third business park project in Switzerland based on the “Manufakt” concept to be built in Neuhegi, just outside Winterthur.
The clear and powerful building has a signal effect. Even from a distance, the large neon sign lights up and points the way to Manufakt8409. The business park impresses with its simple and efficient building structure and architecture, which form a worthy prelude at the entrance to the Neuhegi district. Materials such as glass, metal, steel and exposed concrete accentuate the urban character of the property.
The landscaped public courtyard, which is also the central point of arrival and the fulcrum of the building, serves as a deliberate counterpoint to the urban appearance. A variety of meeting zones invite people to linger, relax and exchange ideas.
Manufakt8409 will be built according to the design of the architecture firm Superdraft Studio and in accordance with the sustainability standards of Steiner AG in Minergie P.
The commercial property will comprise around 7100 square metres of modern, flexible floor space on five floors. The premises are designed for office, commercial and industrial use. The room heights of 3.4 to 4.5 metres underline the industrial charm of the building.
Shared spaces such as meeting zones, meeting rooms and catering stations complete the offer. These spaces help to reduce the need for rental space and thus lower the fixed rental costs. They also promote networking among tenants.
Manufakt8409 is located directly next to Winterthur-Hegi railway station. The centre of Winterthur can be reached in 7 minutes by S-Bahn. The connection to the Eulachpark recreational area rounds off the location. Neuhegi is currently developing into Winterthur’s second urban centre and is already a diverse district in which internationally active high-tech companies are located.
Manufakt8409 will be completed by 2025. Occupancy is also planned for 2025.
