Start of construction: Groundbreaking ceremony
for the Sägewies III residential project in Heiden

Heiden/St. Gallen, December 18, 2024 - The ground-breaking ceremony on December 17 marked the start of construction on the modern Sägewies III residential project in Heiden. ZIMA Projektentwicklung AG, which is representing the client on behalf of Leven Property AG, is realizing a three-part building ensemble with a total of 15 exclusive residential units in a prime location in the climatic health resort of Heiden.


In the presence of the mayor Robert Diethelm, happy buyers, the architects Christian Meng and Katja Weingartner (Gisel & Partner Architekten), Christian Hänni (Hänni Landschaftsarchitektur AG), Roger Krüsi (Projekt AG), Ronny Ochsner (Locher Ingenieure AG), Adrian and Werner Hohl (Hohl Baugeschäft AG), Heinz Stäheli (Appenzeller Kantonalbank) and other project participants, the ground-breaking ceremony was held to mark the start of construction of the 15 residential units of the Sägewies III project in Heiden.

"For us as the municipality of Heiden, this is a pleasing moment. The time of shuffling around paperwork, dealing with objections and hopefully also the legalities is over - work is now underway and something really beautiful is being created at this location," says Mayor Robert Diethelm enthusiastically about the start of construction. "It is important for us as the municipality of Heiden, and we are delighted that we will be able to welcome new residents here in the future."

The condominiums in the Sägewies III project impress with their well thought-out floor plans, high-quality fittings and modern architecture. Particularly noteworthy are the three top-floor apartments, which impress with direct lift access, spacious, covered terraces and impressive ceiling heights. "With their south-facing panoramic glazing, these apartments offer a living experience that is second to none," explains Sandra Davatz, sales consultant at ZIMA Projektentwicklung AG.

With its stylish pitched roofs, the ensemble blends harmoniously into the gentle slope on the southern edge of the village. Spacious green areas, a well thought-out network of paths and an underground garage with 28 parking spaces underline the high quality of living. Daniel Fässler, Managing Director of Leven Property AG, emphasizes: "With Sägewies III, we are creating a home that is ideally suited to the needs of young and old."

Attractive location close to St. Gallen and Lake Constance
The new development combines living close to nature with excellent infrastructure. Schools, shopping facilities and Heiden train station are just a few minutes away, while leisure facilities such as the Chindlisteinweg, the Heiden outdoor pool and the nearby ski lift offer additional quality of life. "The location combines tranquillity, nature and excellent connections, which makes the project attractive to many target groups," adds Fässler.

On a site area of 6,325 m², particular emphasis is placed on ecological and design responsibility.
