Planning started for new high-rise building in St.Gallen

Schlieren ZH/St.Gallen, December 2024

Halter AG can begin planning for the construction project on Bogenstrasse in St. Gallen. The project for a new high-rise building has been approved for special utilisation planning.

Schlieren-based property developer Halter AG has announced that it can begin concrete planning for a construction project with a high-rise building on Bogenstrasse in St. Gallen. The transformed site is set to offer a broad mix of residential, commercial and catering uses in the immediate vicinity of the railway station.

The Expert Council for Urban Development and Architecture of the City of St. Gallen has approved the project draft drawn up by Halter AG in collaboration with architects Herzog & de Meuron and landscape architects Westpol for implementation in a special utilisation plan under planning law.

According to Halter AG, there is now an indicative project ready for realisation that will serve as the basis for the upcoming parallel procedures such as the special land use plan procedure and the zoning plan amendment procedure. These are expected to take around 18 months.

As the project progresses, the detailed design of the facades of the new high-rise building with around 80 flats will also be determined. Once the two procedures have been finalised, a planning application will be drawn up and the building permit process will begin. Construction is expected to start in 2027 if the project runs smoothly.
