Planning begins for high-rise project in St.Gallen
Halter AG is planning a high-rise project on Bogenstrasse in St.Gallen with a broad mix of uses. The design by Herzog & de Meuron has been approved and the procedures for special use and zoning plan changes have been started.
Schlieren-based real estate developer Halter AG has announced that it can now begin concrete planning for a construction project with a high-rise building on Bogenstrasse in St.Gallen. In future, the transformed site is to offer a broad mix of residential, commercial and catering uses in the immediate vicinity of the railroad station.
The Expert Council for Urban Development and Architecture of the City of St.Gallen has approved the project draft developed by Halter AG in collaboration with the architects Herzog & de Meuron and the landscape architects Westpol for implementation in a special use plan under planning law.
According to Halter AG, there is now an indicative project ready for implementation 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 apartments will also be determined. Once the two procedures have become legally binding, a planning application will be drawn up and the building permit procedure will begin. Construction is expected to start in 2027 if the project runs smoothly.
