The tenant will be the dental technology company Amann Girrbach. Construction work officially began today with the ground-breaking ceremony. Completion is planned for the end of next year. The investment volume amounts to 47 million euros. The property is being built on an approximately 22,000 square meter plot of land ready for construction, for which Garbe Industrial Real Estate recently concluded a long-term building rights agreement.

It is located directly on national road 58, which connects the site via the Rhine with the Austrian-Swiss border just a few hundred meters away and freeway 13, the most important north-south axis in eastern Switzerland. "For an internationally active company like Amann Girrbach, the central location in the quadrangle of Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein is almost perfect," emphasizes Jan Dietrich Hempel, Managing Director of Garbe Industrial Real Estate. Amann Girrbach produces and sells equipment and materials for the manufacture of dental prostheses. With locations in Austria, Germany, the USA, Singapore, Brazil and China, the company specializes in digital dental prosthetics. Its customers include dental laboratories and dental practices. In addition to production, logistics and research, a training center and administration will also be located in Mäder. "With the new building, we want to meet our own high standards - and create an atmosphere for our employees in which everyone feels comfortable and can work productively," emphasizes Dr. Wolfgang Reim, CEO of Amann Girrbach. The prestigious new building is designed as a light production property. It comprises 14,500 square meters of hall space for production and research. In addition, there are 5,300 square meters for offices in the form of a tower.

A canteen, a training workshop and an underground parking garage with 247 parking spaces are also planned. A further 76 parking spaces will be created in the outdoor area. Sustainability criteria play a major role in the development of the new building. A high-performance photovoltaic system will be installed on the roof to generate renewable energy. Part of the roof will also be greened. The building will be heated using a heat pump. "This makes the property a little less dependent on fossil fuels," says Jan Dietrich Hempel. The building is complemented by a comprehensive green space concept, which includes a wildflower meadow, the planting of various native trees and shrubs as well as piles of stones and dead wood for insects. Garbe Industrial Real Estate is aiming for certification in accordance with the Gold Standard of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) for the new property.
