Dietlikon, 22 July 2015 – A new hotel and commercial development is to be built at Route de la Bergère 1A in the town of Meyrin, Canton Geneva. The project is located opposite the Richemont site and the Zimeysa train station, which is currently being renovated and expanded. The project owner, Compagnie des Parcs, has given Implenia the general contracting mandate to build the complex, which will have a floor area of 30,000 m2.
