Prime Tower

Prime Tower is a modern skyscraper in Zurich West with 36 floors clad in green-tinted glass that shifts in appearance as light changes throughout the day. The building's scale and distinct color palette make it a visible landmark that anchors the neighborhood.

Construction began in 2008 on the site of a former industrial facility, marking the start of the district's transformation from an industrial zone to a modern business center. This shift shows how post-industrial areas in the city were reinvented for contemporary use.

The tower serves as a meeting place where professionals and visitors gather to experience the city from above. The restaurant and bar on the 35th floor draw people who want to dine while overlooking Zurich and the surrounding landscape.

The building sits next to Hardbrucke railway station, offering direct public transport connections to central Zurich and surrounding areas. This convenient location makes it easy to reach and explore the wider neighborhood on foot.

The entrance hall features walls of green Aosta serpentine stone reaching up to 10 meters, creating a grand and sophisticated entry space. Visitors often miss this striking interior detail that contrasts with the building's modern exterior.
