A dozen or so new tower blocks are being built along Baslerstrasse – an important link road between District 4 and Altstetten train station. With 36,000 residents, District 9 is one of the city’s most populous districts and will continue to grow.
The 80-metre-tall ALTO Tower houses 149 apartments. With its innovative architecture – designed by Zurich-based architects “pool Architekten” – and the harmonious integration of historical structures, it lends District 9 an aesthetic piece of industrial history and forward-looking identity.
149 modern apartments with 1.5 to 4.5 rooms are being developed in ALTO – with fantastic far-reaching views of the city of Zurich, the Uetliberg and the Limmattal.
ALTO is certified under SNBS Gold – currently the highest attainable standard when it comes to sustainability and eco-friendliness.
Few, if any, districts in the city are developing as rapidly as District 9. New housing, shops, restaurants and leisure outlets are injecting even more life into multicultural Altstetten
There are plenty of opportunities for the public to let spaces here – for restaurants or shops, for example.
ALTO offers a modern mobility concept. Links to bus and tram lines are excellent – and the Altstetten train station is only three stops away
The Stadtloggia – an open pavilion built using existing structures – marks the creation of a new, vibrant venue and district hub.
