Rösslimatt, Lucerne – office and commercial property
As part of the development of the Rösslimatt neighbourhood in Lucerne, Implenia is building an office and commercial property for SBB Immobilien just next to Lucerne railway station, with space for around 1,000 employees as well as a wide range of retail and restaurant outlets on the ground floor. Implenia has been commissioned as total contractor to carry out the basic construction. The Rösslimatt site is being developed sustainably and to high quality standards: as well as certification as a 2000-Watt site, the building will be built to the DGNB silver standard. The project, worth over CHF 50 million, started in September 2022 and will take a good two years to complete. The Lean Construction method is being used for the execution phase.

Lucerne Cantonal Hospital – new children’s hospital/women’s clinic 
Implenia has been awarded the contract to build the new children’s hospital/women’s clinic at Lucerne Cantonal Hospital (LUKS). Health sector construction projects are a strategic focus for Implenia’s Division Buildings. Work on the project, worth CHF 40.8 million, began in August 2022 and will continue until mid-2024. The new building will facilitate the further development of paediatric medicine (paediatrics and paediatric surgery), as well as of obstetrics and gynaecology at the highest level. It marks an important step forward for healthcare provision in Central Switzerland as a whole.
