Final construction phase for sustainable development in Rotkreuz
Zug Estates has celebrated the ground-breaking ceremony for the final new-build project on the Suurstoffi site in Rotkreuz. Two buildings and a central park should be completed by mid-2027. The Central Switzerland Health Education Centre will move into one of the new buildings.
Zug Estates is tackling the final construction project in the development of the Suurstoffi site in Rotkreuz, which began in 2010. The Zug real estate company announced in a press release that the ground-breaking ceremony for the two new buildings Suurstoffi 43 and 45 was held at the beginning of December together with representatives from the authorities and project partners. Together with a central park, they are due to be completed by mid-2027.
Zug Estates is creating around 14,400 square metres of office and training space in the two new properties. A further 1,100 square metres have been designed as living space for student accommodation. Once completed, the Suurstoffi 45 property will be home to the Central Switzerland Health Education Centre(XUND). The training centre is relocating from Alpnach OW to Rotkreuz in order to meet the growing demand for practical healthcare training and changing training models. XUND and Zug Estates signed a long-term rental agreement for Suurstoffi 45 in September.
The final development project for the site “fits seamlessly into the Suurstoffi site, both architecturally and in terms of sustainability”, writes Zug Estates. “The existing, almost emission-free energy system” will have another geothermal probe field. The proportion of grey energy will be lower than in comparable properties thanks to a reduced basement level and the optimisation of façades, building services and statics.
