In 2007, the new Stade de la Maladière in Neuchâtel was completed in a fantastic location directly on the banks of Lake Neuchâtel. Besides capacity for 12,500 spectators at the football stadium, the building complex offers around 20,000 m² of retail and commercial space and over 900 underground parking spaces.
The commercial facilities are jointly owned by the federal pension fund, PUBLICA, and the Swisscanto Investment Foundation, which is represented by Zürcher Kantonalbank Asset Management.
Concordance for sustainability
Both PUBLICA and Zürcher Kantonalbank Asset Management take economic, technical and ecological aspects into account in new and replacement investments. On this basis, it was quickly agreed that a sustainable solution was needed for the ageing heating and cooling systems of the Maladière Centre. Last summer, the property was then connected to the Neuchâtel free-cooling network.
