Dismantling for the Lymhof is complete
The demolition of the old tennis hall in Schlieren's Rietpark neighbourhood has been completed, paving the way for the construction of the Lymhof. The start-up Yasai wanted to run a vertical farm in the hall, but has pulled out.
According to an article in the Lymhof newsletter, the demolition of the Vitis Sport Centre with tennis hall in the Rietpark district of Schlieren has been completed. The construction of the Lymhof can now begin after planning permission and preliminary work have been granted. The vertical farm planned by start-up Yasai in the hall building will not be realised. Yasai recently withdrew from the project because it is realigning itself as a company. The landowner Geistlich Immobilia is now planning to divide the hall into six sections. The rooms, which are up to 9 metres high, could provide space for creative uses such as an artists’ collective, a mixed studio community, cultural uses or neighbourhood offers.
In February 2024, Schlieren City Council granted planning permission for the Lymhof. The appeal period has now also expired, meaning that the realisation of the new neighbourhood near Schlieren station can begin, according to the press release. The next step is to finalise all official and cantonal requirements. Construction approval for the excavation is expected in summer 2024. The actual construction of the buildings will begin around autumn 2024 and will take around three years.
The Lymhof should then be ready for occupancy in 2027. In addition to a colourful mix of flats for a colourful mix of residents with different generations and lifestyles, ground floor uses along Wiesenstrasse and a restaurant with catering facilities and hotel rooms will also be built there. Although the 350 or so rental flats will not be ready for occupation until 2027, interested tenants can already register their interest online.
