Future-oriented residential development Hoffmatte in Thun
A contemporary residential development is being built on the site next to Hoffmann Neopac AG. The project includes rental and owner-occupied flats for all age categories and a state-of-the-art care home for the elderly as well as a day care centre.
The Hoffmatte site in Thun is an outstanding example of sustainable urban development that is geared towards the needs of people of all generations. The project comprises around 150 rental and owner-occupied flats, a nursing home with over 100 care places for the elderly, a daycare centre, a small shop and a neighbourhood café.
The project has a long history. In February 2022, the Thun electorate voted 62 per cent in favour of the new “Hoffmatte” zone with planning obligation. After several years of legal proceedings, the Federal Supreme Court finally dismissed all appeals, meaning that the ZPP and the associated development regulations became legally binding in spring 2023.
In May 2023, the Solina Foundation, as the operator of the care home, and Frutiger AG signed a cooperation agreement, thereby taking an important step towards the realisation of their joint project. With the decision of the Federal Supreme Court and the approval of the canton, the project has reached milestones that form a solid basis for the next development steps.
With the development of the new residential project in Hoffmatte, the initiators are striving for a high quality of life. Thanks to the commitment of the various stakeholders, the project has now been given the necessary legal and planning framework to create new living space for the people of Thun.
