The planning partners of klybeckplus
The klybeckplus project will see the Klybeck site being developed into a green, mixed-use, climate-friendly neighbourhood by the planning partners: the canton of Basel-Stadt, Rhystadt, and Swiss Life. By 2040, the former industrial site will provide space for 8,500 residents and 7,500 jobs as well as facilities for leisure and culture – while preserving its identity and atmosphere and featuring public green spaces and open areas.
Swiss Life
Swiss Life Asset Managers has over 165 years’ experience in managing the Swiss Life Group’s assets. This insurance background has had a decisive influence on its investment philosophy, which focuses on key principles such as preserving value, generating long-term, stable returns, and managing risk responsibly. Swiss Life Asset Managers also makes this proven approach available to third-party clients in Switzerland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the UK, Italy and the Nordic countries.
Rhystadt AG
Rhystadt is a Central Real Estate Group subsidiary pursuing a shared strategy of investing in forward-looking, innovative property projects in prime urban locations, with a focus on the sustainable development of liveable urban spaces. The company is supported by a consortium of experienced property and investment specialists, comprising Nova Property Fund Management AG, Mettler Entwickler AG, and UBS Fund Management (Switzerland) AG.
Canton of Basel-Stadt
To ensure that these developments are planned in a way that is both sustainable in the long term and of high quality, a wide range of issues relating to land use, urban planning, architecture, open space, transport and the environment must be addressed and translated into concrete proposals for solutions. The Urban Planning Division of the Basel-Stadt Department of Construction and Transport contributes its technical and organisational expertise to the planning process, coordinates between all cantonal departments, commissions the necessary expert reports, and, in the next phase, supports design competitions or study commissions and draws up the development plan. In particular, it also sees itself as a guardian of public interest and architectural heritage. In future, the plan is for parts of the site (which is now privately owned) to be taken into cantonal ownership for use as schools, roads, squares and parks.
