«Perronimo» commercial and residential development
A unique partnership between Mettler Entwickler AG and the city of Wil has resulted in a pioneering project. Here, services, retail and urban living merge in perfect harmony.
The exposed location placed high demands on statics, technology and energy efficiency, with geothermal probes, heat pumps and hybrid PV systems on the roofs guaranteeing a sustainable energy supply. Particularly noteworthy is the initiative of Thurvita AG, which is creating 32 apartments for self-determined living in old age in the «Thurvita Quartierzentrum City». The unique «At home – for a lifetime» concept offers older people the opportunity to stay in their retirement homes and, if necessary, take advantage of the comprehensive support provided by Thurvita.
«Untere Bahnhofstrasse 1-11» in the city of Wil, an important hub and regional centre in eastern Switzerland, is extremely central and has excellent connections to the railway station. As part of this project, the city of Wil intends to create at least 600 underground bicycle parking spaces that are directly connected to the platform subway and the cycle path network. The entire development will be built and operated in accordance with Minergie certification and the 2000-Watt Site standard, ensuring maximum energy efficiency and sustainability. A comprehensive mobility concept also promotes the use of public transport and reduces motorised private transport.
