Chief Investment Officer, Olten/CH |
Swiss Prime Site AG is Switzerland’s first specialist real estate investment company. Its portfolio of around 3.7 billion Swiss Francs has been created on the basis of a real-estate-picking strategy and comprises top-class commercial properties at selected Swiss business locations, which includes the Messeturm Basel, the Cityport complex in Zurich-Oerlikon, Bern Arena or Sihlcity in Zurich (3/2007). One of Swiss Prime Site’s other exciting projects is the Prime Tower. It has already become clear that its design, by Zurich’s renowned architectural office Gigon/Guyer, will become a branding object par excellence. It will be vastly influential and have a lasting impact on its surroundings and on the cityscape. Zurich‘s new landmark on 36 floors sets a new benchmark for commercial property as regards architecture, transparency, influence and technical perfection. The decision in favour of the architectural practice Gigon/Guyer was due amongst others to "the crystalline exterior which sets it apart from its environment, the fine movements and protrusions, the multiple usability of the pragmatically large ground plan and the static concept with the pre-stressed ceilings". The opening is expected to be in 2011. Peter Lehmann has been Chief Investment Officer of Swiss Prime Site since 2002. He moved to the Credit Suisse Group from a general contractor in 1984, assuming responsibility for building management for the real estate investment elements of the Asset Management Division in 1990, and has been responsible for the acquisition and development of properties for Swiss Prime Site AG and other real estate products since 1998. >>> more
