Text description provided by the architects. A new district is being created in the heart of Zurich. The trapezoidal area, located directly behind Zurich’s main train station, stretches from Langstrasse to Kasernenstrasse and from Lagerstrasse to the newly created Europaallee, which runs parallel to the train tracks. This major infrastructural project has a planned completion date of 2018. The new district will incorporate 6000 workplaces, 1800 study spaces, 400 flats, one hotel, shops and restaurants as well as other leisure activities. Prior to the decision taken to transform the tract of land in 2006, the area was being used by the Swiss Federal Railways and the Swiss Postal Service and was not accessible to the public.
