Magnificent, top-class – the 126 metre high Prime tower in Zurich West has already been showered with superlatives, even during the project phase; and for very good reason. Zurich’s new landmark comprising 36 floors sets the new benchmark for commercial properties in terms of architecture, transparency, appeal and perfection.
The Zurich Prime Tower is a Swiss Prime Site project. It is situated in the heart of the city on the site of the former Maag cogwheel factory, where Zurich has been undergoing a transformation process for several years. With the construction of the Prime Tower other investors
have plans for hundreds of new apartments, parks and lawns,
shops and restaurants.
40,000 m2 floor space, 1,200 m2 office space on each floor, room for up to 2,000 workplaces: the dimensions and opportunities afforded by the Prime Tower are impressive and transform Zurich’s First Site into a five-star residence. Working here means leaving the ordinary behind you. The view across the city and lake is magnificent, the brightness provided by natural daylight inspiring and the Sky Lounge on the 35th floor just breathtaking.
The octagon-shaped Prime Tower is the project unanimously chosen as the winner of an international competition involving top-ranking architects. The decision that came out in favour of the Zurich architect team Gigon/Guyer was influenced among other things by the “crystalline exterior that stands apart from its neighbours, the fine movements and projections, the many uses of the large ground plan and the static design with the pre-stressed ceiling”.
