Old cotton mill in Turgi becomes an office complex
Office space is created in the old cotton mill in Turgi. From April 1st, 7000 square meters of offices and commercial space can be rented. The owner is Limmatkraftwerke AG, which belongs to Regionalwerke Baden.
The old cotton mill in Turgi is to be converted into a complex with offices and commercial space. That was decided by Limmatkraftwerke AG, which operates its hydropower plant next to the large building. The subsidiary of Regionalwerke AG Baden acquired the building in mid-2020. According to an announcement on LinkedIn, offices, studios and commercial space will be rented on April 1 or by agreement on an area of 7,000 square meters. André Roth AG in Baden is responsible for marketing the space.
The former cotton mill in Turgi was built as a factory between 1826 and 1879. Between 400 and 600 people worked in the Bebié brothers' cotton spinning mill, according to an article in the “Aargauer Zeitung” about the purchase of the elongated gable roof building in July 2020, which the cantonal heritage authorities call “the largest-scale building of its type in the canton of Aargau” Limmatkraftwerke AG operates the power plant in Turgi, which supplied the 190-year-old cotton spinning mill with electricity.
Martin Schoop, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Limmatkraftwerke, was quoted at the time about the reasons for the purchase: “We operate one of our power plants right next to the spinning mill building. With the purchase of the spinning mill, we can ensure the operation of this power plant in the long term. ”With the acquisition of the spinning mill, future use can be controlled in such a way that expansion is possible.
