Halter develops residential project in Bischofszell
Halter AG is developing a residential project on the Schützengütli site in Bischofszell. An urban development concept is being developed in a two-stage study contract. Around 50 condominiums are planned.
After the transfer of ownership of the Schützengütli site in Bischofszell to Halter AG, a site development for the construction of 50 condominiums will begin there, according to a media release. In February 2022, Halter acquired the site with two areas of around 6500 and 1000 square metres. On 10 February 2023, the revised building and zoning plan of the town of Bischofszell came into force, allowing residential use with a design plan obligation on the site.
For the planned owner-occupied flats, the existing building stock must give way, except for individual elements, according to the statement. Halter has commissioned a two-stage study for a high-quality site development in order to offer future residents a high quality of life and living. The new buildings should also blend in harmoniously with the surrounding neighbourhood.
“With this site development in an intact neighbourhood, we will create attractive living space in a very well connected location right next to the railway station,” Rolf Zäch, project manager at Halter Entwicklungen, is quoted as saying. “The centre of our city continues to develop positively. The city council is pleased about this,” says Thomas Weingart, mayor of Bischofszell. With Halter AG, a renowned company is active in Bischofszell that brings great experience in urban development.
The property had served the Schiffli embroidery factory from 1907 and later the glass rectifier construction. In 1946, it became the property of the malt factory and fruit pressing plant Laumann & Co. Until a few years ago, essences and syrups were still produced there, according to the notice.
