Foundation stone for Claraspital

On Wednesday, February 28, 2018, the groundbreaking ceremony for the replacement building of the former Hirzbrunnenhaus of Basel's Claraspital took place in the presence of Cantonal Councillor Lukas Engelberger and numerous invited guests. An innovative implementation model was developed for the CHF 200 million project: A participatory implementation partner – HRS Real Estate AG – will carry out the construction within a defined cost ceiling. As an incentive, the partner will receive a bonus if the project goals are met and for high-quality, cost-effective work that minimizes the impact on hospital operations. The Hirzbrunnenhaus was handed over to HRS Real Estate AG in October 2017. The handover of the completed building to the Claraspital is scheduled for October 2019.
