The listed building has been undergoing extensive renovation since April 2025, under the lead of Ilmer Thies Architekten. The lower three floors will be leased by Manor, which will open a flagship store with a curated portfolio of brands and a diverse food zone. The upper floors will boast around 13 000 m² of high-quality office space with two new courtyards based on an historical layout and an imposing lobby that adopts and reinterprets the iconic atrium and architectural heritage of Tilla Theus. The amenities will also include the fitness club and spa, Holmes Place, and a restaurant concept on the top floor which will open up this area to the public and provide breathtaking views across Zurich. The restaurant is currently out for tender; the preferred candidate will be an operator of national or international renown.

In addition to the outdoor areas run by the restaurant, there will be flexible terraces for events and social interaction.

Since spring 2025, the «Window to the Future» overlooking Seidengasse has offered an artistic vision of the project – a first taste of the future positioning of the Jelmoli building as a lively meeting place with appeal beyond the city limits. 

Destination Jelmoli is a flagship project for urban transformation that aims to set new standards not just architecturally but conceptually as well – as a driving force for the development of prime inner-city locations.
