WAA progress construction on Europaallee 'Site D' in Zürich
Foundation work is nearly complete on WAA's newest building in Zürich–Europaallee 'Site D'. The building is currently known as 'Site D' due to the numbers of buildings in the new Europaallee district–eight in total, each assigned a letter, 'A-H'. The district is located west of the city’s main train station, and, upon completion, will consist of office space, with restaurants and retail occupying ground floor spaces. As with many new urban spaces in Zürich, ample seating and bike parking will be incorporated. Similar to allée of formal gardens; the district will be planted with copious amounts of greenery, with trees bordering the main pedestrian passage, creating a 'small-scale' urban garden within the resulting small 'urban canyon' the district will form. Google is the district’s main tenant, and will occupy most office space in ‘Site D’, whose basement level is connected to two adjacent buildings and contains a tunnel for vehicles, so that deliveries can be made underground, minimizing automobile presence in the area.
