SWITZERLAND. Unique (Zürich Airport) has struck new long-term leasing agreements for key real estate, which it said underlines the attractiveness of Zürich as a business location even amid tough economic times.
The Operation Center 1 and Prime Center 2 buildings at the airport have been leased almost entirely after being vacated in recent years, by airline SWISS among others.
The new tenants are the Swiss Railway Corporation (SBB), the buildings insurance company of the Canton of Zürich (Gebäudeversicherung Kanton Zürich), the Customs Authority (Zollverwaltung) and Border Control (Grenzwache).
The airport said: “It is a testament to the attractiveness of the location that Unique was able to rent these premises and thus reduce the vacancy rate despite economically challenging times. It also reconfirms the company’s present strategy of focusing on both aviation and non-aviation activities. The excellent accessibility with various modes of transport is an important advantage of Zürich Airport.”
As a result of the recent leases, only a few real estate spaces remain available for rent at the airport.
