Swiss construction giant Implenia has secured a series of new contracts in Switzerland and Germany, with a total value of approximately $496 million. The upcoming developments span a range of sectors, including medical research, housing, education, and urban regeneration.

Medical Research Hub in Bern: Merging Five Institutes Under One Roof

At the University of Bern, Implenia has begun construction on a new medical research and training center, located on the northern side of the Inselspital campus. The facility will bring together five institutes of the university’s medical faculty in a single integrated building.

The structure will feature seven above-ground floors and five basement levels, housing laboratories, office spaces, training facilities, and meeting rooms.

Residential Project in Zurich: 90 Units with Integrated Commercial Spaces

In the Zurich Oberland region, Implenia will construct eight residential buildings comprising 90 owner-occupied apartments for the Seraina Investment Foundation, a Swiss pension fund. The development will include generous outdoor areas, a shared underground car park, and ground-level commercial units.

Construction is set to begin in the summer of 2025, with project completion targeted for October 2027.

Urban Regeneration in French-speaking Switzerland: From Factory to Mixed-use Hub

In a city located in French-speaking Switzerland, Implenia plans to transform an old industrial factory into a mixed-use development. The building will be repurposed to accommodate residential units, workspaces, and retail areas, offering a revitalized urban function in the heart of the city.
