New neighbourhood planned at Pratteln railway station
The majority of the population of the municipality of Pratteln has approved the construction plans for the Bredella West neighbourhood. Building owner Ina Invest from Opfikon can now begin the transformation of the industrial site into a living, working and residential space.
Ina Invest can convert the Bredella West site in Pratteln, which is currently used for commercial and industrial purposes, into a mixed neighbourhood for living and working: The population of the municipality has approved the corresponding neighbourhood plan with 1903 yes votes against 1481 no votes, the real estate company based in the Glattpark district of Opfikon announced in a press release. “We are delighted that the people of Pratteln have decided to open up the currently underutilised Bredella West site and transform it into an attractive, green and vibrant neighbourhood,” Ina Invest CEO Marc Pointet is quoted as saying.
The property company intends to tackle the transformation of the site in several stages. The plans include “high-quality outdoor spaces and inspiring combinations of flexible, compact and sustainable living, working and residential space”, according to the press release. At the same time, the neighbourhood located directly next to Pratteln railway station will play a key role in connecting the neighbourhoods north of the railway tracks.
