A large part of the new high-rise building will be occupied by Hotel Mövenpick, a five-star hotel that will offer 264 rooms. The top seven of a total of 24 floors will be rented out as office space. “The planned buildings will create 1,300 new office workspaces,” explains Martin Wenk, a former member of the Corporate Executive Committee, enthusiastically. “The new buildings and our existing Baloise offices at Aeschengraben 21 combined will offer a modern and innovative work environment in an outstanding location for around 2,700 employees.” In his role as Head of Asset Management, Martin Wenk played a crucial part in the design and planning of Baloise Park right from the start and he will continue to chair the project steering committee for the entire duration of the construction works. “After starting the dismantling of the old buildings on 2 November 2015, laying this cornerstone constitutes another important milestone for the Baloise Park project,” says Martin Wenk. Works to construct the remaining two buildings are scheduled to begin in early 2018. The relevant planning permissions have already been obtained. By 2020, all of the buildings in the Baloise Park complex should be ready for occupation.
