Tour of the "Im Zelg" residential development in Uster - fully booked
11. Nov 2024
Experience the pioneering "Im Zelg" residential development in Uster: five apartment buildings with 164 modern rental apartments in innovative timber construction. Thanks to TS3 technology and efficient prefabrication, the first apartments will be ready for occupancy from March 2025. Discover the project during an exclusive tour!
The "Im Zelg" residential development with five apartment buildings and 164 rental apartments is being built in Uster ZH. For reasons of sustainability, the investor subsequently decided to construct the buildings, originally planned as solid structures, entirely in timber. Thanks to the collaboration between Rhomberg Bau AG, Renggli AG and Timber Structures 3.0 AG, the project could be successfully rescheduled on schedule despite the advanced stage. The TS3 technology enables a statically two-axis tensioned timber construction, which means that the rooms can be constructed without visible beams. The five buildings are almost identical and sensibly structured, which is ideal for serial production due to the repetition effect. Thanks to the high degree of prefabrication in timber system construction, the construction time can be shortened, which has a positive impact on costs. The first two buildings will be ready for occupancy in March 2025 and the apartments are already fully let. The other buildings will be ready for occupancy in fall 2025 and spring 2026.
We invite you to visit this exciting project. Take a tour of the site with our experts and find out exciting details about the project and the timber construction-specific details. The site is ideal for taking a look at the completed apartment buildings and at the same time viewing the buildings under construction.
We look forward to welcoming you to Uster.
