The Glarus South residential park sets new standards

With the Glarus Süd residential park, a cross-generational, energy self-sufficient neighbourhood with 51 flats is being built on a former industrial site in Linthal. The project combines sustainability, innovation and regional development and is looking for an investor with vision.

In the centre of Glarnerland, nestled in the alpine landscape and with a direct S-Bahn connection to Zurich, a pioneering project is taking shape. The Glarus Süd residential park is ready for realisation. The building permit has been granted, the concept has been finalised and the surrounding area is ideally developed. The site is already home to an established health and prevention centre, a café, a hairdressing and beauty salon and versatile event spaces. Schools, shopping facilities, Spitex services and the railway to Braunwald are all within walking distance. The location combines living close to nature with urban connections.

A pioneering project for new ways of living
The project focuses on multi-generational living, supplemented by co-living and co-working facilities. The 51 flats are part of a holistic concept that is geared towards social mixing, encounters and shared use. The residential park is operated CO2-neutrally. The energy comes from its own production. The concept addresses key challenges such as demographic change, climate protection and the increasing need for flexible ways of living and working, while at the same time offering attractive prospects for investors who focus on valuable, socially relevant projects.

Experience meets vision
Hacontex AG from Zollikon is behind the project. The company, which has its roots in the textile industry, has consistently transformed itself over the last few decades. Today, Hacontex is active in sustainable energy production and property development. Managing Director Hans-Peter Keller and his team rely on entrepreneurial courage, regional roots and economic foresight. With projects in the Zurich agglomeration, in the canton of Schwyz and in Glarnerland, the company addresses future-oriented topics, always in the area of conflict between nature, technology and society.

A project with a signalling effect
The Glarus Süd residential park is more than just a property project. It is a stimulus for the region and a model for the sustainable transformation of rural areas. A place for all generations, for work, health, community and innovation is being created in the middle of the mountains. The combination of modern infrastructure, local roots and ecological responsibility makes the project an investment target with long-term added value.

Now that construction is ready, the go-ahead is imminent. An investor is now being sought who shares the vision and has the courage to back a project that not only promises the future, but also builds it.
