The city of Schlieren is adopting an economic strategy for the first time and, more recently, a new real estate strategy

Schlieren, November 2021

In 1998 the city of Schlieren introduced the real estate sector and the promotion of locations. In the last 15 years in particular, the city of Schlieren has grown strongly and has positioned itself as a place to live and work. The population and the number of jobs have grown from 12,000 to 20,000. The number of companies from 650 to 1200! In the current year, the city council had an economic strategy 2025 drawn up for the first time and recently also a real estate strategy 2035. The example of the city of Schlieren shows how close the location promotion, real estate management and portfolio management are.

Albert Schweizer has been in the service of the City of Schlieren as Head of Real Estate and Head of Location Promotion since 1998. He has 40 years of construction and real estate experience and a master’s degree in real estate management from the St. Gallen University of Applied Sciences in 2004. His successful dual role is reflected in his 23 years of activity, sometimes with the settlement and establishment of the clusters Bio-Technopark Schlieren , the support association for startups: Start-Smart-Schlieren , the establishment of the Institute for Young Enterprises , the national headquarters of Mercedes-Benz Switzerland AG , Porsche Center , Strabag Switzerland , Sika Bau AG , Sony Switzerland and around 200 other small and medium-sized SMEs whose founding and relocation he personally managed.

Probably the biggest milestone for Albert Schweizer is the new Schlierem economic strategy 2025 with comprehensive documentation (city council resolution of June 2, 2021) and the new real estate strategy 2035 published by the city council on November 17, 2021.
