Another architectural flagship project was inaugurated in 2011: the Prime Tower. Today – 15 years after its construction – the iconic tower is still one of the tallest buildings in Switzerland and characterises the skyline of the city of Zurich and far beyond.
Swiss Prime Site received the building permit for the new Zurich-West landmark in 2006. The ground-breaking ceremony for the high-rise building designed by Swiss architects Gigon/Guyer took place in November 2008, with an additional office property, the «Platform», being constructed during the same period. The overall project included the «Cubus» and «Diagonal» buildings, two further properties. The Cubus is a new building, while the Diagonal was created by converting an industrial building, the industrial character of which has been largely retained.
