EbiSquare

EbiSquare combines leisure and shopping in a new breed of complex that focuses on entertainment and atmosphere. A main attraction will be the Aqua Centre, a sophisticated water-world and wellness facility. Also planned are a cinema, a 160-room hotel and various restaurant outlets. 40,000 m2 of retail space will feature speciality offerings in fashion, sport, leisure, design and trend shopping.

Plans for EbiSquare include around 70,000 m2 of publicly accessible space, and the centre is expected to create between 800 and 1,000 jobs. Responsible for planning this 500 million franc project is EbiSquare AG, a joint venture between Schindler Holding AG and Nüesch Development AG of St. Gallen. The project is to go ahead in two phases, timed to coincide with the building of a suburban rail link and an access road to the A14 motorway. Construction is expected to start in 2008 and the center will open for business in 2011.
