Bredella sees itself as a new, lively urban quarter for Pratteln and is intended to become a symbol for a new understanding of living, working and leisure in the Basel area and for the reclaiming of privatized industrial areas. On the ground floors, small shops and catering units will provide a lively living space. Small service providers and commercial enterprises could optimally stage themselves in an attractive working environment in a well-connected location directly next to the railway station and close to the motorway. Bredella is easily and stress-free accessible from the city as well as from other parts of Switzerland.

The exceptional location directly on the border triangle with Germany and France also makes Bredella particularly attractive for expats. Bredella aims to cater specifically to different target groups – to understand their needs in terms of living space and, thanks to community building, to bind these people to their new home. We want to attract commercial uses from all sectors and branches. Only disturbing
emissions such as noise, odors, light or inappropriate visual impressions should be avoided, as far as possible. As you can imagine, we do not want to generate excessive motorized traffic either. After all, Bredella is located right next to the railway station. It is best suited for those people who enjoy travelling by public transport and appreciate the traffic-calmed urban quarter for precisely that reason.
It is about living, working and leisure, about how all of this harmonizes together and is redefined via Bredella. In the planning guidelines, you will find our basic conceptual ideas, which we sorted out a few years ago as an outline. Of course, sustainability goals are also important to us, as this is an important aspect of contemporary construction. A high-rise building that uses less land, for example, produces a smaller ecological footprint. The valuable space should be able to be utilized to a high standard. The Pratteln residents’ council is currently examining the neighborhood plan West, and we hope for approval by the end of June 2024. First infrastructural measures planned for 2025. Start of demolition in the west 2026.
