Neu im Immobilienportfolio
Schaffhauserstrasse 560-562
The listed office building was acquired in 2024. Planning is currently underway for a comprehensive revitalization and conversion into modern student housing. The focus is on a holistic approach, with a particular emphasis on sustainable solutions. A key element is the targeted use of recycled materials (“reuse”), which is expected to reduce CO₂ emissions by 15–20%.
The project is scheduled for completion in 2027. Once work is finished, the building will provide accommodation for around 115 students.
