Bergdietikon AG, April 2025

Bergdietikon hat der Oase Gruppe die Genehmigung für den Bau eines Seniorenzentrums im Gebiet Hintermatt erteilt. Das neue Alters- und Pflegeheim soll ab dem 4. Quartal 2027 in Betrieb gehen.

The Bergdietikon municipal council has given the green light for the construction of a retirement and care centre in the Hintermatt area, according to a statement from the Oase Group. Retirement flats and care places are to be built there. The building permit is expected to come into legal force at the end of May, according to the municipality’s press release.

Planning for the Hintermatt retirement and care centre in the Kindhausen district of Bergdietik has been ongoing for around twelve years, according to the press release. It began with a municipal assembly and the sale of the land in Hintermatt to Oase Holding AG in Baar ZG. Oase submitted the planning application in November 2023.

The Oase Group, based in Dübendorf ZH, currently operates a wide range of residential concepts in the areas of retirement living, assisted living, care for people in need of care and long-term and palliative care at eight locations throughout Switzerland, according to the company. A further seven projects, including Bergdietikon, are in the planning stage.

According to the guideline project on which the design plan is based, Oase will build a centre with around 64 retirement flats and 45 care places. Seven parties objected to the planning application. After the public consultation was completed in summer 2024, several objection negotiations took place between the developer and the objectors. The negotiations were concluded before Easter and the municipal council issued the building permit at its meeting on 22 April, according to a statement from the municipality.

According to the plans of the municipality and the Oase Group, the new retirement and care home is set to open in the fourth quarter of 2027.
