UBS has entrusted Implenia with the renovation of its listed building on Zurich's Paradeplatz. New work surfaces are to be created here. Further areas are intended for partial public use.
UBS has selected Implenia as the general contractor for the renovation of its listed building on Paradeplatz in Zurich, the construction and real estate company from Dietlikon informs in a message . According to her, the award of the contract was preceded by a year-long overall performance competition. The notification does not provide any information about competitors or the volume of orders.
The start of construction work is planned for the end of next year, Implenia informs. During the renovation, Roland Rohn's historic character is to be restored “in a contemporary way,” explains Pierre de Meuron, Founding Partner of the Herzog & de Meuron architecture firm, in the press release. In addition to new office space, spaces with hybrid and partly public use are planned. Implenia also plans to open the building to Paradeplatz and Bärengasse. The renovation work should meet the LEED Platinum sustainability standard for ecological building.
"We rely on efficient and effective processes as well as the latest methods from Lean Construction to ensure optimal quality, deadlines and good communication in the planning and execution of the complex project across all phases," says Jens Vollmar, Head of the Buildings Division at Implenia, in the communication quoted. "We also work with a proven team that has already worked for UBS on other projects."
