Site overview

Phased construction

Gradual site development

A completely new neighborhood with around 1,000 apartments and 1,000 jobs is being built on the site of the former paper mill. It covers 11 hectares and will be constructed in several phases. Despite its size, it is not being built on greenfield land, but in the midst of historic buildings. By converting the striking existing buildings, the project preserves the links with the past; the neighborhood’s industrial origins remain visible.

They are joined by a number of eye-catching new buildings, including five high-rise buildings with incredible views. The new neighborhood right by the Lorze offers an appealing mix of office spaces, apartments, lofts, workplaces, studios, open spaces and public-oriented uses, All within a skillfully balanced, sustainable area that cherishes its own history – and is continuing to write it.
