Giessenturm

Giessenturm, High-rise building in Dübendorf, Switzerland.

Giessenturm is an 85-metre, 25-storey high-rise on Überlandstrasse in the Giessen quarter of Dübendorf, right bank of the Glatt. A long four-storey base block holds commercial and restaurant premises, with the slightly rotated tower set on its western end. Offset facade elements characterise the building, which contains 50 flats and 80 senior residences and was occupied in 2021.

The Giessenturm occupies part of the former Givaudan industrial site in the Giessen quarter on the right bank of the Glatt. The first new building there was the SV Group headquarters, completed in 2004 at the eastern end between the river and Überlandstrasse. A study with six architecture firms followed in autumn 2014, site access works began in 2016, and the tower was built as the third stage of the four-part "Im Giessen" development, after the Giessenhof and before the giessen-lab; the old Givaudan administration and laboratory buildings were demolished during construction.

The tower stands in the Giessen quarter, named for the Giessenbach stream on the right bank of the Glatt. It was built on former industrial land of the flavour maker Givaudan, whose old administration and laboratory buildings were demolished during construction. The four-stage development «Im Giessen» began with the Giessenhof, followed by the Giessenturm as the third stage at Giessenplatz.

The Giessenturm stands on Überlandstrasse in the Giessen quarter, on the right bank of the Glatt, at the eastern end of the "Im Giessen" development next to the SV Group headquarters completed in 2004. The four-storey base building holds commercial and restaurant businesses, while the 25-storey tower rises slightly rotated from its western end.

The building was specifically designed for older residents with thoughtful solutions for everyday challenges like wider hallways and secure spaces. This attention to safety and comfort is evident in many details that are easy to overlook during a visit.
