On 1 October, Halter AG began handing over keys to buyers at PilatusTower in Kriens. Following a four-year construction period, the 113-metre-high tower marks the on-schedule completion of the overall Pilatus Arena project. The sports arena and the neighbouring Helvetia Tower were already brought into operation last year. Move-ins to the tallest building in the Canton of Lucerne are taking place in phases over several weeks, whilst some owners have scheduled their move for a later date or the coming year.
Architecture and residential offering in the Luzern Süd district
With its 36 storeys, PilatusTower shapes the Mattenhof neighbourhood in the Luzern Süd development area as a landmark visible from afar. The architectural appearance is defined by an understated facade colour scheme and cantilevered balconies extending up to the top floors. Despite its vertical scale, the structure integrates into the existing surroundings and strengthens Kriens as a combined location for work and living within the Lucerne urban area.
From the eighth floor upwards, the high-rise comprises 167 condominiums ranging from 2.5 to 5.5 rooms. Of these units, eleven are currently still available. Depending on orientation, sightlines open up towards Mount Pilatus, Mount Rigi, Horw Bay, the Sonnenberg, and the urban area of Lucerne. The top floors make up the so-called Sky Level, offering more exclusive living space with generous layouts.
Compact apartments and supplementary neighbourhood infrastructure
The plinth of the tower accommodates 66 smaller units offering living spaces with 1.5 and 2.5 rooms. These include so-called MOVEment apartments, a model designed by Halter AG featuring movable room modules that allow flexible use across compact floor areas. Occupancy of these apartments begins in mid-October.
- —Wellness and sports amenities featuring a sauna with panoramic views as well as a fitness area
- —Shared co-working zones, a wine room, and separate guest rooms
- —Roof terrace with a garden room for residents to relax and socialise
The residential concept is complemented by the site amenities known as 'Pilatus Spaces', which provide communal areas for work and relaxation. At a later date, a restaurant will also open on the ground floor to support the urban activation of Mattenhof at street level.
