Swiss construction firm Implenia has secured a series of new contracts in the building construction sector, collectively valued at approximately SFr400m ($496.8m).
The projects align with Implenia's strategic focus on specialised buildings that demand extensive expertise and experience.
The University of Bern has commissioned Implenia to construct a new medical research and training centre on the Inselareal site.
The facility will consolidate five institutes of the university's faculty into a single building, featuring advanced laboratories, office spaces, and training and meeting rooms across seven upper and five underground floors.
Construction on the medical research and training centre is set to commence in May 2026 and conclude by July 2028.
In Oetwil am See, meanwhile, Implenia has been tasked by Seraina Investment Foundation, represented by Seraina Invest, to plan and build eight apartment buildings that will house 90 owner-occupied apartments in Zurich Oberland.
The development includes outdoor spaces, a shared underground parking garage, and commercial spaces on the ground floor. The project will adhere to the Minergie standard and utilise building information modelling.
Construction is scheduled to start in mid-2025 and finish by October 2027.
Additionally, Implenia will undertake the modernisation and conversion of an inner-city building into a mixed-use property with retail and office spaces.
The company is also developing a site in French-speaking Switzerland, transforming an old factory area into a new district with housing, workplaces, and businesses.
Additionally, Implenia has secured contracts for constructing two large school buildings in Switzerland and Germany.
Last month, Implenia won a contract exceeding €200m to construct a segment of the Nordmainische S-Bahn beneath central Frankfurt, Germany.
The contract was granted by DB InfraGO, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn, the German state-owned railway company.
The new underground section will stretch from Konstablerwache in the city centre to Fechenheim, including the new ‘Frankfurt (Main) Ost (tief)’ S-Bahn station along its route.
