Halter starts construction of ZenO in Oberdorf
Halter AG will begin construction of ZenO in Oberdorf in July 2024. A new centre with 49 flats and an Aldi Suisse shop is to be built by spring 2026 on behalf of the cantonal pension fund.
The Schlieren-based construction and property company Halter AG is building 49 flats and a branch of the anchor tenant Aldi Suisse for the pension fund of the canton of Nidwalden. The investment volume for the ZenO project is estimated at CHF 30 million. According to a press release, a design by Mirlo Urbano Architekten GmbH from Zurich is being realised for ZenoO. The plan is to build a new centre on the former Landsgemeindeplatz in Oberdorf.
According to the project description, an area of 1,100 square metres is intended for commercial use, with a further 130 square metres for offices and small businesses. Apart from a small commercial space, the ground floor has already been let.
With retail and additional service areas on the ground floor, the project offers “optimal supply options for the small flats on the upper floors”. The target group is mainly employees from the surrounding Bürgenstock and Engelberg tourist regions, professionals from nearby companies such as Pilatus and SWISSINT, as well as singles and couples of all ages.
ZenO will make an important contribution to strengthening the community and will positively promote local development. “It will not only improve the townscape, but also create new living space and jobs,” says Judith Odermatt-Fallegger, Mayor of Oberdorf.
Planning permission was granted in December 2023, construction is due to start in July 2024 and completion is planned for spring 2026. In order to be able to start construction, the building lease agreement was signed in January 2024 between the municipality of Oberdorf, the Pension Fund of the Canton of Nidwalden as the investor and Halter AG as the overall provider. Halter was also awarded the contract for the initial letting of the project.
