Halter realizes winning project in Emmen

Schlieren ZH/Emmen LU, April 2022

Halter AG is taking on the planning and implementation of the new development at Seetalplatz in Emmen. The winning project in the tender comes from architects from Basel and Lausanne.

At the Seetalplatz in Emmen, a new development with a variety of uses for all sections of the population is to be built. There was a competition for this, in which six architects' offices took part. According to the press release , the study drawn up by Westpol Landschaftsarchitektur from Basel together with Dreier Frenzel architecture + communication from Lausanne emerged as the winner and is recommended for further processing.

On behalf of the Rüüssegg housing cooperative, the planning and implementation of the superstructure will be carried out under the leadership of Halter AG . Completion of the entire development on the relevant construction sites is scheduled for the end of 2026.

The Rüüssegg housing cooperative based in Lucerne is the holder of the building right. It was founded by Halter AG and the non-profit housing cooperative Wir sind Stadtgarten after they, as a bidding consortium, had been awarded the building lease by the Lucerne government council in June 2021.

The winning concept "offers an opportunity for social interaction, communication and exchange between residents and users," says the managing director of the Rüüssegg housing cooperative, Thomas Häusler.

"In addition to a well-balanced mix of apartments in terms of price and space, the project also provides age-appropriate housing, commercial, office and studio space, which allows for a mix and social diversity," says Peter Lötscher, Head of Portfolio Management at the Canton of Lucerne's Real Estate Office. This also fulfills the mandate of the cantonal parliament.
