The excavators are still idle. The outlines of the buildings continue to sway in the wind. The demolition has stopped. First of all. Hundreds of tenants in the large Brunaupark development in Zurich, near the Sihlcity shopping center, can breathe a sigh of relief. Your deal shouldn’t go away anytime soon.
Reason: The Zurich construction court approved a complaint against the highly controversial planned pension fund project of the major Credit Suisse bank. Result: the construction permit for the megadevelopment has been revoked. The sentence is not yet final, according to “NZZ” the client can file an appeal, but does not want to comment on an appeal.
Demolition of the internationally known settlement
The first plans to demolish and rebuild the farm were known in late 2018. In the spring of 2019, the tenants received their first notice. There was even international resistance to the demolition plans, as BLICK reported in June 2019. “This is Crazy. Here intact houses are simply demolished,” criticized Leilani Farha (51), UN Special Rapporteur for the right to housing.
The CS pension fund wants to demolish 240 apartments. And build 500 apartments, more than double the number today. The “NZZ” writes about plans “which are extraordinary even for Zurich”. Four of the five existing apartment blocks will be demolished. Also a shopping center where Migros is also rented on two floors.
Insufficient consideration of noise protection
The success of those affected is based on the lack of acoustic protection for future residents of the planned large-scale development. In summary, the court ruling of September 4 states that “it was not demonstrated in an understandable way” that all the measures in the planning of noise protection had been exhausted.
The postponement is not canceled: it is likely that the CS pension fund is sticking to the megaproject. Many residents have already given up. The first completion date has passed in June 2020. According to “NZZ”, many apartments have already been emptied. Those who remained, however, continue to resist the demolition with their hands and feet.
