Zürich is going well. Perhaps that's caused by the boom the German immigrants bring along eh ;)

Definetly a joy to see that Switzerland have the brave to build some really modern, raffish highrises. Brings more business-glam to the twinkle capital of save banks.

cool! :D:D

Zürich is going well. Perhaps that's caused by the boom the German immigrants bring along eh ;)New sheeps! ;)

The 2 biggest cities (Geneva and Zurich) are still growing fast. I like the new projects but I hope for more 100+ (or better 150+) plans. Maybe they will come after the Primetower is finished.

Here another Picture of the Tramway extension. Here in Front of the Glattcentre (shopping cneter in the north of Zurich)

Thanks for this thread. :)

:banana:

Being one of the most important financial cities in the world, Zurich should definitely build some nice modern highrises.
:cheers:

Excellent Projects !

I've added some finished stuff and some plans :)

There are a lot of other projects, but I will only add the bigger or very special (architecture, function) projects.
Some of them aren't in the list yet, but they'll follow later... :)

Here's a German article about the big "housing shortage" problem within the city.

A short translation:
Microsoft bought a Swiss company based in Zurich and wants to expand their office to one of the main development centers in Europe (at the same time google is hiring at least 500 new jobs in Zurich).
The Microsoft guy means that the housing shortage is the only problem for them which is not only a problem for international companies.
The housing market is desiccated and the construction of new housings is unable to keep up with the demand.

«Die Wohnungsnot ist das einzige Problem»

Microsoft erhält heute für den Aufbau des Microsoft Developer Center for Collaboration Technologies in Zürich den Tell Award. Damit ehrt die Schweizer Wirtschaftsförderung in den USA wichtige Investitionen nordamerikanischer Unternehmen in der Schweiz. Der Direktor des Entwicklungszentrums, Erich Gebhardt, erklärt die Vorzüge des Standorts Zürich.

Microsoft erhält die diesjährige Auszeichnung für die wichtigste Technologie-Investition in der Schweiz. Weshalb?
Erich Gebhardt: Microsoft hat im Oktober 2005 die Zürcher Startup-Firma Media-Streams gekauft, die ich mitgegründet habe. Anstatt dass Media-Streams dem Microsoft-Konzern in den USA einverleibt wurde – wie dies oft bei solchen Übernahmen vorkommt –, blieb der Standort in Zürich erhalten und wurde ausgebaut

Weshalb holte Microsoft Media-Stream nicht in die USA?
Weil das Know-how in Zürich ist. Man hat ein paar Mitarbeiter von uns nach Redmond versetzt, dem Entwicklungs-Hauptsitz von Microsoft im Bereich «unified communications», und ein paar Leute kamen aus den USA nach Zürich. Microsoft sah aber rasch, dass es in Zürich gut läuft und wir dank der ETH sehr gute Informatiker haben. Ein weiterer Grund ist, dass Microsoft vermehrt ausserhalb der USA Entwicklungszentren betreiben möchte. Neben Redmond und Zürich gibt es in unserem Entwicklungsfeld weitere Zentren im indischen Hyderabad und in Peking.

Was machen Sie genau in Zürich?
In unserem Entwicklungszentrum sind wir auf Internet-Telefonie beziehungsweise Voice over IP spezialisiert. Wir integrieren diese Technologie in die komplexe Microsoft-Office-Palette. Diesen Herbst werden die ersten Produkte auf den Markt kommen. Wir arbeiten schon an der übernächsten Generation.
Rekrutierung ist schwierig

Sie haben ein 30-köpfiges Team in Zürich. Wie gross soll das Entwicklungszentrum werden?
Wir wollen so schnell wie möglich über 50 Mitarbeiter; diese Grösse ist für die Entwicklungsarbeit kritisch. Es ist nicht einfach, zu wachsen in Zürich. Wir haben zwar keine Budgetrestriktionen. Aber es gibt nicht sehr viele ETH-Abgänger. Positiv ist, dass Zürich ein guter Standort ist, um Informatiker aus dem Ausland anzuziehen. Die Behörden sind sehr kooperativ und hilfreich. Das ist ein wichtiger Standortvorteil.

Wie viele Schweizer arbeiten in Ihrem Zentrum?
Mittlerweile sind weniger als die Hälfte Schweizer.

Das Studienfach Informatik zieht in Zürich nicht mehr viele Studenten an.
Es mag sein, dass es weniger Absolventen gibt. Zürich ist aber eine Finanzstadt und kein Software-Zentrum. Entsprechend klein ist das Angebot an interessanten Arbeitgebern für die Studienabgänger. Im Silicon Valley gäbe es zwar mehr Informatiker, aber auch eine grössere Konkurrenz bei den Arbeitgebern.

Microsoft wird oft vorgeworfen, sie missbrauche ihre marktbeherrschende Stellung. Schadet dies dem Ruf des Arbeitgebers Microsoft in Zürich?
Nein. Der Ruf von Microsoft als Entwicklungsfirma ist hervorragend.

Wie grenzen Sie sich als Arbeitgeber ab von Ihrem Zürcher Konkurrenten Google?
Wir laden die Kandidaten zu vier Interviews ein, zwei in Zürich, zwei in Redmond. Es gibt zwei Tests mit Software-Aufgaben. Dann machen wir ihnen ein Angebot oder nicht. Die Kandidaten müssen selbst entscheiden, wo sie arbeiten wollen.
«Junge Informatiker wollen in die Stadt»

Welches sind die Nachteile des Standorts Zürich?
Die Wohnungsnot ist das einzige Problem in Zürich. Es gibt viel zu wenig Wohnungen. Unsere Mitarbeiter sind jung und haben oft noch keine Familie. Sie wollen in der Stadt leben. Eine Neubausiedlung in Affoltern am Albis interessiert sie nicht. Vielen ausländischen Mitarbeitern kann man auch nicht verständlich machen, wie gut der öffentliche Verkehr in Zürich funktioniert und dass man sehr schnell in der Stadt ist, selbst wenn man in Affoltern wohnt.

Können Sie dieses Problem nicht mit Geld lösen?
Wir wollen das bewusst nicht übertreiben. Wir holen junge Talente und nicht Manager mit einem Millionensalär.

Now added some public transport (railway) projects and the Limmatfeld project

The construction of these new buildings in Leutschenbach is now approved an will start soon.
The project will be finished in 2012.

Curious! These renderings are, classic, Modernism..... attractive , but very dated, architecture. Why do ALL of these projects have 1970's architecture? I don't mean that as a criticism. Is That mere coincidence or intent?

Added a new project for Escher-Wyss-Square

:) Fear not! This, classic, Modernist, " glass box " style was one of My favorites. It's, just, from the past. If You're unfamiliar with Him, You can " google ".... Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.... on Any search engine and learn more about This, superstar, architect Whose style dominated " big city " architecture between the late 1950's through the 1970's.

nice projects. it is time for zurich to get some more highrises :)

:) Fear not! This, classic, Modernist, " glass box " style was one of My favorites. It's, just, from the past. If You're unfamiliar with Him, You can " google ".... Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.... on Any search engine and learn more about This, superstar, architect Whose style dominated " big city " architecture between the late 1950's through the 1970's. I would say this style of architecture is very typical for American cities. For European and especialy Switzerland this is not realy common architecture. The buildings look quite bold and massive even if they are only 92m high.

Sure this style isn't new at all, but this could be the intention of the architect, who has planned a "small size rockefeller center". The plans for the additional buildings (the 92m and 80m towers are allready built) where made public in 2000 by the way :-)

Leutschenbach complex looks very tough and cool, very American indeed. Other Zürich projects are also looking good.

:yes: " True! " I hope, ALL, goes as planned for Zurich. Dated or not, I wish My hometown had Them instead of some of It's, dreadful, architecture.

i love this city! really nice projects :colgate:

Good news :-)

Today the city announced the official project for the new Square on the old between Bellevue and the Opera (formerly known as Sechselaeutensquare)

Until 2011 the Operaparking will be finished and the parking lots in front of the operahouse will disappear.
One year later the whole square between operahouse and Bellevue will be finished.

thanks, I didn't think of visiting the swiss forum.

nice progress, btw.

I have to say I'm extremely impressed by the quality of materials used and attention to details in buildings in Zurich. Some of the designs like Hädrich Park and Hohlstrasse 78 look oddly late 50's / early 60's though.
