From A for Altstetten to W for Wädenswil
In order to meet the requirements of today's commercial and office buildings, Steiner AG has developed the multi-dimensional Manufakt concept, which is used in several locations.
Manufakt creates a brand that stands for modular building complexes with flexible use by high-value, manufacturing industries. Manufakt is characterized by its local roots as well as regional and national networking. The powerful and clear structures radiate the greatest possible physical presence. In addition to a concise external effect, Manufakt always focuses on the corresponding internal effect and specifically focuses on modular and networked open spaces and atmosphere. On July 1, 2021, the imposing Manufakt8048 commercial property, which was built on one of the last vacant industrial sites in the city of Zurich, was officially opened after around one and a half years of construction. The building, which is located directly on the track field at Zurich Altstetten station and was built for the client Swisscanto Investment Foundation, is exemplary. Because with the innovative concept and the Manufakt brand, Steiner AG is bringing commercial and service companies back to the city.
Curated networking
“For us, Manufakt stands for quality craftsmanship of the future, for Industry 4.0, the digitization of industrial production,” says Peter Herzog, Head of Real Estate Development for Zurich at Steiner. The “curated networking” of the Manufakt buildings is to be understood in a double sense: in addition to the digital, the analogue networking in the building, which takes place in particular via the open courtyard, is to be promoted. And Othmar Ulrich, Head of Real Estate Development Region East, adds: “We offer industry and commerce an environment that gives tenants the opportunity to further expand their network. We imagine that the buildings will be played with a choreography. ” The manufacturing concept is currently also being used in Wädenswil and Winterthur. In Wädenswil (Appital area), a development for trade, research and offices will be built by 2024. The name was chosen based on the postcode of Wädenswil Au: Manufakt8804.
