on the office space markets in Zurich In addition to providing key data and reporting on the most significant changes in Switzerland’s largest market areas the office market study also highlights evaluations on the availability of ESG compliant office spaces and presents a brief digression on Europe The aggregate office space availability rate in the five largest office markets in Switzerland – Zurich Basel and Lausanne – slightly increased over the last twelve months from 4.5% to 4.6% only 1.15% of housing units in Switzerland stand vacant in comparison Higher availability rates on the office market are common particularly since available floor space is a basic prerequisite for enterprise and economic growth The office market experienced considerable momentum last year with numerous lettings and relocations Several flex space providers and private banks were in growth mode demand cooled noticeably as the year progressed although this has not yet had a noteworthy impact on the amount of available space Office vacancies in Switzerland are rock-bottom low compared to elsewhere in Europe The average vacancy rate for a set of 24 European cities stood at 7.7% at last reading (previous year: 7.2%) Warsaw and Lisbon exhibiting vacancy rates of 10% or higher vacancy rates of that magnitude exist only in some isolated submarkets such as Opfikon/Glattbrugg Almost a third of the vacancies registered are in these four submarkets In many other districts – especially in centrally located ones – there is much less available office space on the market The total measured rise in supply of 32,400 m2 in the five largest office markets was due to increases in the Zurich (+31,500 m2) and Geneva (+9,500 m2) regions Bern recorded only a slight change (+1,100 m2) while office supply in Lausanne (−5,100 m2) and Basel (−4,600 m2) actually decreased compared to the previous year there is 53% and 69% more office space available than in the year before meaning that the previously tight supply situation has eased somewhat The availability rate rose from 2.2% to 3.3% in Zurich's city center and from 1.9% to 3.3% in the heart of the Rhone city Companies looking for centrally located space will find the largest choice in Basel's city center (6.6%) vacant offices are still in short supply in Lausanne's CBD (1.4%) The supply market in Bern's city center has dried up completely presenting only one offer with more than 250 m2 of space on the market at the time of the data collection Construction activity has flattened significantly 118,000 m2 and 139,000 m2 of new office space will be created which is only half as much as from 2019 to 2023 (Ø 265,000 m2 per year) While changes in the letting market usually can only be measured with a time lag the capital market often reacts immediately to changes in market conditions which is also promptly reflected in the transaction business The hiked central banks’ policy rates have led to higher market interest rates on bonds causing investors’ yield expectations to rise across all asset classes real estate investments cannot escape this trend either prime yields for office properties rose by 60 to 80 basis points over the last two years standing at 2.5% in Zurich and 2.9% in Geneva as of end-2023 the fields of activity and the behavior of investors have changed considerably in recent quarters Insurance companies and real estate investment funds had dominated the acquisition market for years these two investor groups turned passive for the most part or even made an appearance as sellers and housing cooperatives were now getting in on transactions with increasing frequency The market in Switzerland is fundamentally liquid fewer deals are being concluded because sellers’ and buyers’ expectations are often still far apart Although there are signs here and there that sellers are now accepting also lower prices the pricing and revaluation phase is not finished yet CEO Switzerland & Capital Markets Lead Germany/Austria/Switzerland at JLL: „Although the real estate market in Switzerland is as well going through a transformation phase there is still sufficient capital available The number of bidders in transactions is lower than in previous years there are still solvent potential buyers.” More information on major construction projects, leases and corporate site selection decisions in the respective economic areas is included in the study, which was dispatched together with this media release.

Wallisellen One was a businessman with a penchant for luxurious lifestyles The other was prone to delving deep into the world of conspiracy theories With their company they want to do something good for mankind: Facilitate help between neighbors the president of the National Vaccination Commission and a central figure in Swiss coronavirus politics He wrote: «The kidnapper had me in his grip for a good hour He confronted me during that time with a demand for a substantial amount of money.» To give weight to this demand As we know from an earlier announcement by the Zurich Cantonal Police: he threatened to shoot him the motive in the foreground was thus an economic interest «The perpetrator did not make any reference to my role as president of the vaccination commission,» Berger said After assuring the perpetrator that his demand would be met Despite this mild outcome of the kidnapping In Wallisellen there was a shootout with the police one of the two business partners and his life-partner are dead and the two men were sitting on a wall in the city of Bern They went public via their company’s Instagram account Sebastian Müller (a pseudonym) first spoke into the camera He was followed by his business partner Marc Wyss Together they explained what their startup can do: Getting people together It all started with a long and intensive conversation Wyss states that he was an aspirant at the police school of the canton of Zurich posting flowers or short films of bowling evenings he seems to become more and more radicalized Posts in which he identifies himself as a supporter of the flat earth conspiracy theory stand out Wyss maintains a Facebook site called «flat earth Switzerland.» It contains crude theses pharmaceutical intrigues and the alleged surveillance state His business partner shows himself differently prefers to be pictured at the Zurich Film Festival Or with prosecco glasses at networking events in the business world works as a sales specialist – and has another company in addition to the app with Wyss His second company produces entertainment films Müller himself appears – as a dog owner who has no time to walk his animals On Instagram she is present with two profiles there are also videos that show her in a shooting gallery According to the Tamedia newspapers Müller and his girlfriend were regular guests at a shooting range in Spreitenbach Müller himself is also said to have been close to the Civilian Training Unit a group of sport shooters from Volketswil who practice using weapons together investigators will find several weapons and ammunition in Müller’s apartment in Wallisellen the kidnapping case takes on a political dimension The vaccination chief is not only one of Switzerland’s best-known scientists He is also among those who have faced the strongest hostility in recent years In the first days after the kidnapping case became known it was suspected that the crime could be traced back to the scene of radical pandemic measure critics But Berger himself denied this in his statement The perpetrator had demanded money from him he immediately contacted the cantonal police The protection of the family had come first the president of the vaccination commission does not want to disclose further details about his abduction Berger became the national coronavirus explainer And the face of the federal immunization campaign especially when it came to the issue of child vaccination Berger was not one of those experts who always urged even stricter measures He was particularly cautious on the issue of child vaccination – which in turn angered advocates of stricter protective measures and in the midst of the largest vaccination campaign in Switzerland’s history Berger almost always remained a calm and objective communicator clear sentences and a sober tone – as if to counter an increasingly emotional debate The last time he appeared in public was a week before his abduction the medical profession remains a bogeyman for radicalized opponents of the measures the hostility in the relevant Telegram channels continues Media reports on the crime are being read by hundreds of people Some write unquotable threats under the messages there are already the first conspiracy theories about the incident: On a channel with over 30,000 members there is speculation that the kidnapping was merely a staging – with the aim of discrediting opponents of the measures Berger has received personal protection because of the massive hostility and threats It is still officially unclear whether such a protection concept also existed on the evening of March 31 the Zurich Cantonal Police only commented in general terms on the procedure If there were concrete indications of a threat the necessary security measures would be taken investigations would be launched and criminal proceedings initiated the specialized violence protection service would take up the case That happens about 400 times a year.» The police state that in all cases the cooperation of the persons concerned is required It remains unclear where the kidnapping took place It is also uncertain whether other motives besides the perpetrator’s financial demands play a role – even after Berger’s statement The physician himself then informed the Zurich cantonal police The traces led to 38-year-old Sebastian Müller Little is known about the involvement of his business partner Wyss What is clear is that the police arrested him on Thursday it is said that his involvement in the crime is the subject of ongoing investigations He is in the custody of the Zurich authorities the prosecutor’s office has not decided whether to apply for pre-trial detention in his case events came tumbling down last Wednesday evening A special police unit prepared to arrest Sebastian Müller They wanted to wait for him in Wallisellen Müller lives there in a rented apartment on the 14th floor The development is located in the middle of the Zwicky site a former industrial wasteland in the Zurich agglomeration Responding officers knew the suspect had firearms and ammunition They wanted to stop him as he was about to drive his BMW in front of the underground parking garage of the apartment complex In the passenger seat was his 28-year-old girlfriend But the arrest operation went out of control this is how the shooting happened: The emergency services tried to block the car The driver then tried to drive away in reverse As the police officers were about to make the arrest and start the seizure through a car window The emergency services witnessed Müller’s girlfriend slumped over The report by the Institute of Forensic Medicine of the University of Zurich and the Zurich Forensic Institute meanwhile confirmed that the 28-year-old was killed by a shot from the gun of her 38-year-old companion Many unanswered questions remain: Why did the kidnapper target Christoph Berger of all people – and was his business partner involved? Why did the perpetrator think he had the means to pay a large ransom? Did the financial problems of the hijacker play a role, as reported by Tamedia newspapers And why did Sebastian Müller kill his girlfriend during the police action in Wallisellen All these questions must now be answered by the investigations in the coming months Tamedia newspapers revealed on Friday evening that the kidnap victim in the Wallisellen case is Christoph Berger the president of the National Vaccination Commission Well-informed sources also confirmed this to the NZZ the Tamedia newspapers had to remove the information about Berger’s identity from their reporting There is no super provisional injunction against NZZ The Berger case is relevant because it potentially adds a political dimension to the kidnapping case: Berger had become a nationally known figure during the coronavirus pandemic – and the bogeyman of opponents of the measures The extent to which Berger’s role in the pandemic response is related to his suspected abduction remains open at this time Berger himself said on Sunday that this narrative contradicted his personal experience during the kidnapping The motives of the suspected kidnapper are the subject of investigations by the police and the public prosecutor’s office Archive Art stuttgart-based practice coast office architecture (zlatko antolovic alexander wendlik) has shared with us images of ‘microsoft citizenship exhibition’ a spatial installation for microsoft’s office headquarters in wallisellen integrating augmented reality technology at the core of the project the design overlays four virtual spaces on an existing floor of the building to maintain the flow and function of the office interior view image © david franck the project graphically delineates four zones within the revolving space the colours of the strips are pulled from microsoft’s branding logo of red the computer-generated sensory inputs correspond to display four subject areas: society when viewed through a smartphone or tablet screen virtual ‘walls’ with interactive elements are observable courtyard image © david franck in the central glass-encased courtyard is an additional exhibition called ‘microsoft cloud installation’ composed of a series of colourful houses raised on stilts the project represents the company’s current and potential partner’s of the company within the national border of switzerland the bright installation serves as the core of the project and is virtually accessible from the cafeteria and informal meeting area ‘microsoft cloud installation’ image © david franck views of cloud installation in augmented reality mode images © david franck view of courtyard from meeting space image © david franck image © david franck cafeteria image © david franck cafeteria in augmented reality mode image © david franck ‘economic issues’ zone images © david franck ‘microsoft cloud installation’ client: microsoft switzerland gmbh exhibition curator / microsoft citizenship and sustainability officer: joanna hafenmayer microsoft program manager ‘new world of work’: kevyn eva norton team: L2M3, coast office architecture happening now! partnering with antonio citterio, AXOR presents three bathroom concepts that are not merely places of function, but destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style, context, and personal expression.  «We have set high ambitions for the digitalization of THE CIRCLE and will redefine the way people work, shop and spend their leisure time», says Stefan Gross, CCO of Flughafen Zürich AG. «This will enable us to further increase the attractiveness of this new destination at Zurich Airport and provide important impulses for Switzerland as a innovation hub.» The strategic partnership between Flughafen Zürich AG and Microsoft Switzerland marks the official start of the planning, development and implementation of the digitalization of THE CIRCLE, in which a new human experience is created by merging the physical and digital dimensions.

Police had been looking for a 38-year-old German national for kidnapping and threatening another man with a gun.  They found him on Wednesday evening, but he drew a gun and fired. Police fired back and the man died. His female companion died in the incident. Police assume she was shot by the man.  Last year, an entrepreneur with financial troubles kidnapped the president of Switzerland's Federal Vaccination Commission. Both the perpetrator and his girlfriend were killed before any money could be collected. How did it come to this? A reconstruction. 8 min Share The kidnapper was supposed to be arrested at his home in Wallisellen. In the end, both he and his girlfriend wound up dead. PD Sebastian Müller (name changed) was on the road, steering his car toward Pfannenstiel. The popular destination between Lake Zurich and Lake Greifensee was not the reason for his trip, however. It was about the man with him in the car: Christoph Berger, president of the Federal Vaccination Commission and a key figure in Swiss COVID-19 policy. Berger wasn't there by choice. Müller, a startup entrepreneur, had kidnapped him. It was the night of March 31, 2022. The driver stopped somewhere in a wooded area near Pfannenstiel. He pointed a gun at Berger and demanded 300,000 Swiss francs (about $350,000) from him. An hour earlier, the 38-year-old German had picked up the doctor at his home near Zurich. According to Tamedia news outlets, Müller pretended to be a police officer, claiming that Berger was in danger and that the Swiss doctor had to come with him. When they arrived at the forest, Berger told his kidnapper that he would provide the money as asked. But later. Müller agreed, and drove the Swiss vaccination expert to the nearby Uster railway station shortly before midnight, and there released him. Without getting Berger’s contact details. Without securing any kind of bargaining chip. The fatal conclusion to the story followed six days later. An arrest attempt at Müller's home got completely out of hand. In the end, both the 38-year-old kidnapper and his girlfriend, who was 10 years younger, died. Since then, many people have been asking the same questions: Why did a German startup founder kidnap the president of the Federal Vaccination Commission? Did Müller oppose the government's COVID-19 policy, and did he take the Swiss vaccination expert hostage for this reason? The police and public prosecutor’s office have also been digging into these questions. Investigators have spent a year and a half looking into the case, following every lead and shedding light on every detail of the man's life. On Wednesday, Dec. 20, the public prosecutor's office announced that it had concluded its investigation. The findings confirmed that the 38-year-old German did act alone. Neither his girlfriend nor anyone else knew about his plans. And yet many questions remain unanswered. And maybe will forever. The public prosecutor's office has halted the legal proceedings. This is a common course of action if the defendant is deceased, and no trial can be held. It is the end of a story that could easily have taken a completely different course. In February 2020, Sebastian Müller considered himself a successful entrepreneur. Someone on his way to the top. In conjunction with a business partner, he founded his own company. But not just any company: The two wanted to do something good for humanity. With an app. It was intended to make it easier for people to help their neighbors, and thus to bring people together. In videos, the founders explained what their startup could do: help organize carpools, find a dog sitter or someone to go shopping for you. It all started with a long and intense conversation, they said. Soon afterward, the app was born. Müller carefully cultivated the image of a successful business owner. He was photographed at Zurich Film Festival. Or at networking events, holding a glass of prosecco. It was also during this period that he met his girlfriend. The 28-year-old Brazilian worked as a consultant for an insurance company. She shared her life on Instagram, and had almost 70,000 followers. She posted pictures of trips, hotels, fine restaurants and the beaches in her home country. Müller and his girlfriend moved into a penthouse apartment in Wallisellen, a town on the outskirts of the Zurich metropolitan area. It was located on the 14th floor in the middle of Zwicky-Areal, a former industrial wasteland. Müller's luxury car, a BMW 7 Series, was parked in the garage. But the image of the successful businessman soon began to crumble. Müller's startup was having problems getting off the ground. Their app garnered hardly any attention. This was clear on the company’s social media accounts: The startup had only about 300 followers on Instagram and 92 on Facebook. Time and again, the young entrepreneurs were forced to look for new money and investors. But it didn’t work. Sebastian Müller increasingly sank into a maelstrom of expensive lifestyle costs and financial problems. In hindsight, Müller's hobbies were a cause for concern. He had a passion for fitness. And for weapons. Along with his girlfriend, he used to frequent a shooting range in Spreitenbach. Müller himself is also said to have been close to the Civilian Training Unit, a group of sport shooters from Volketswil who practice using weapons together. Later, after the fatal arrest, a search of the house would confirm the image of a gun enthusiast. The investigators discovered assault rifles, pistols, shotguns, submachine guns and revolvers in his penthouse apartment – as well as several thousand rounds of ammunition. All legally acquired. According to Tamedia newspapers, the people around Müller described him as a man with two faces. One was friendly and helpful. In this guise, he appeared to be a hardworking and reliable employee. His other side was less flattering. Müller was a braggart and a showoff, but also a loner, an eccentric, withdrawn and unremarkable, people said. According to the report, when he was really convinced of something, he could practically become obsessed. He was also allegedly an adherent of the Flat Earth Theory – a conspiracy theory that contends the Earth is flat like a disk, not shaped like a sphere. Both he and his girlfriend allegedly refused to get vaccinated during the pandemic. His business partner at the time was also a so-called flat-Earther, running a Facebook page called «Flat Earth Switzerland.» Alongside content criticizing COVID-19 policy and research, this spins a number of other crude theories – regarding chemtrails, supposed pharmaceutical intrigues and the alleged surveillance state, for instance. Meanwhile, Müller was starting to lose control of his financial problems. In spring 2022, he apparently saw only one way to get money for his neighborhood app: kidnapping. He focused his attention on Christoph Berger, partly because the doctor had gained national recognition during the coronavirus pandemic. Müller assumed that someone like Berger would be able to raise an amount of 300,000 francs. Berger was everywhere in the media in those days, explaining and representing the federal government's vaccination campaign. He was a bogeyman for opponents of Swiss COVID-19 policy, especially when it came to the issue of childhood vaccination – despite the fact that he was rather cautious when expressing himself on this topic himself. After the kidnapping, there was no immediate communication between Müller and Berger. The kidnapper did not contact his victim for several days. The reasons for this remain unclear. However, there are indications that Berger was released by his kidnapper without leaving any means of contact. At some point, Müller is eventually said to have contacted the doctor. That was the moment that the police were able to track him down. At this point, things moved very quickly. The events unfolded on the evening of April 6, 2022. At this point, six days after the kidnapping, a special police unit was preparing to arrest Müller at his penthouse apartment in Wallisellen. The police tactical unit already knew that the suspect was in possession of firearms and ammunition. When Müller drove up in his BMW with his girlfriend in the passenger seat, he sought to steer his car into the underground parking garage. The police tried to stop him. They surrounded the car. When he realized what was happening, Müller tried to shift into reverse and drive away. The police's tactical unit made an effort to access the car through a window. Then, all of a sudden, shots rang out. The police officers saw Müller's girlfriend collapse. They returned fire, and then pulled the two out of the car. The woman was bleeding from her head, the man from his chest. The officers tried to resuscitate both of them. In vain: Müller's girlfriend died from a bullet from his gun, while Müller himself was killed by shots fired by two officers. A second investigation by the public prosecutor's office will determine whether the police officers acted correctly. In a statement on Wednesday, the public prosecutor's office wrote that the shots fired by the tactical unit and the circumstances that led to them are still under investigation. Initially, the investigation also targeted Müller's business partner. Authorities strongly suspected that he had been involved in Berger's abduction. The 34-year-old was arrested and placed into custody. After a month, however, the investigators released him. The suspicion proved to be unfounded. This means that Müller was a lone offender. A man who had big plans. An entrepreneur who wanted to help humanity with an app. And who ended up becoming a kidnapper and murderer.
