Avobis builds business location in Hombrechtikon
Avobis and Rimaplan, two companies of the Avobis Group AG, are building a site for commercial and production operations on around 29,000 square metres in the Eichtal Park in Hombrechtikon from 2024. The sustainable project bears the name OakTec.
The industrial area in Hombrechtikon’s Eichtal Park is taking its next step in site development: from 2024, the Avobis Group and its two companies Avobis and Rimaplan will build the new OakTec business location there. Around 29,000 square metres of land and 20,000 square metres of usable space will be available for commercial and production operations. An information event will be held on 15 June in Hombrechtikon’s small community hall.
According to a press release, the concept is based on the idea of offering companies attractive, well-lit and flexibly divisible space. Access and deliveries are possible from an inner courtyard on two accessible levels. This is evidence of a “particularly economical use of land”.
In general, the building is planned in a sustainable manner, according to David Belart, the client’s representative: “By carefully embedding the building in the terrain, the excavation volume is reduced, all roof surfaces are either greened or use solar energy, the entire energy concept is based on renewable energies, and the green belt in which the site is integrated promotes biodiversity
Municipal President Rainer Odermatt is behind the project: “We support ‘OakTec’ and would like to further strengthen the Eichtal Park as an important generator of jobs in the region. To this end, we offer an attractive infrastructure and, together with the VZO, very good transport connections.”
According to information, the project planning work for the building application is currently underway. In addition, according to Avobis, there are currently considerations for a further investment programme on the sub-areas further to the east with the striking existing buildings. They are to be further developed in a sustainable manner.
