MANUFAKT8048 is located within walking distance of Zurich Altstetten train station and offers almost 15,000 m² of modern commercial floor space on six floors. The building structure allows for flexible floor plans and design options. The facilities can be used as offices, production premises, manufacturing facilities, laboratories or showrooms, as desired. The large open-air atrium is the centre of the property.
The new construction was built in accordance with high ecological building standards. With district heating as a sustainable energy source, it makes a valuable contribution to the ambitious reduction targets for greenhouse gas emissions in the real estate portfolio.
The tenants at MANUFAKT8048 mainly come from the high-tech and life sciences sector. The anchor tenant is the ETH spin-off Levitronix AG. The high-tech company is the world's leading provider of magnetically suspended, bearingless motor technologies.
