Rocket & Tigerli
Short description
Implenia developed the "Rocket & Tigerli" project in the locomotive town of Winterthur until it was handed over to the current owner, Cham Swiss Properties AG. At around 100 meters, "Rocket" was one of the tallest timber residential buildings in planning at the time of development.
The project
The building complex comprises around 30,000 m² of usable space with attractive rental apartments and, together with the three complementary "Tigerlis", forms a striking urban ensemble. In addition to apartments, the project version developed by Implenia also included hotel use, which was not pursued further in the subsequent planning by Cham Swiss Properties.
The study contract was juried in January 2022 and further developed until 2023. The building permit was issued in April 2025. Implenia was responsible for project development up to and including the building permit, before the project was transferred to the owner Cham Swiss Properties AG, which has been in charge of further planning since then.
The winning project was designed by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects (Copenhagen) and Cometti Truffer Hodel Architects (Lucerne). The "Rocket" high-rise will comprise 32 floors and reach a height of 100 meters - a milestone in the forward-looking Lokstadt Winterthur site development.
