A realistic vision
Wankdorf City is a brand that speaks for itself in terms of prime
location, situated as it is at the largest commuter train station
(S-Bahn) in the canton. It consists of a core subcity area around
the Bern-Wankdorf station and is synonymous with an independent urban identity. The new quarter will grow in stages, as market
conditions allow. The city of Bern is relying on architecture devoted to the idea of holistic quality. The object is to create a high
quality workplace that also reflects the spirit of our times.
Wankdorf City will become a business address for numerous
service businesses from a wide variety of sectors and for public
administrative agencies and serve as a workplace for as many
as 6 000 people.
Prosperous business location
The idea of the project
Gross floor area – Useful areas / Parking spaces / Floor plans
The project idea was worked out in a master plan and presented
as an interesting concept in line with the market. The Wankdorf
City concept within the BB4/6 construction zones also allows
leeway for dividing individual construction areas more precisely
into lots and thus for planning and creating other dimensions of
use and building volumes.

Solid partnership with the city of Bern – more than just an

agreement regarding the right to build
The new Bern-Wankdorf commuter train station is a guarantee
for excellent accessibility. The surplus land zoned for construction
and the planned construction activity also give the area around
the Bern-Wankdorf station an unmistakable identity as a kind of
subcity devoted to business. The commuter train lines (S-Bahn)
emanating from the Bern-Wankdorf station and the nearby access
to the freeway system make the location all the more persuasive
in terms of accessibility. This strength offers advantages for every
service enterprise. Business partners and employees always arrive
at their destination quickly.
We are happy to provide you with more detailed information
about the basic building principles, about the guidelines in the
master plan and finally about the terms and conditions regarding
the right to build or the possibility of an option for a right to build
regarding the planning and marketing of your actual project. The
project idea presented and envisaged for the BB4/6 construction
zones is not carved in stone. Other divisions of the land and
dimensions for use are possible and negotiable. Wankdorf City
allows leeway.
