The renovation work for the new LLB location on Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich is progressing according to plan. The transformation from Modissa fashion house to LLB branch is already well advanced. A brief tour of the site reveals much and sparks anticipation for the new location.

The past few months since construction began in mid-February have been characterised by two distinct phases. In the first phase, lasting until mid-May, the focus was on demolition and dismantling work. The removal of the massive escalators and the installation of the new spiral staircase connecting the second to fourth floors posed particular challenges for the site management. Since mid-May, the second phase has focused on the structural work for the technical systems and the installation of plaster partition walls and room divisions, as well as the opening of the exterior façade.

This allows the former retail spaces to be converted into workplaces. The necessary scaffolding also served as a support for a 150 m² LLB advertising banner, announcing our advisory expertise and our move-in this autumn.

In the remaining weeks until the planned completion of the renovation work at the end of August, the main focus is on giving the premises the LLB look & feel. The furniture and materials are all based on the latest LLB standard, which is also used in St. Gallen and the Giessen Campus in Vaduz.
