Measuring around 29,500 square meters, the Granador site next to the Hitzkirch railway station straddles the border between the Lucerne municipalities of Hitzkirch and Ermensee. The aim of the development project is to transform this former industrial site into a new residential-commercial district while also giving the Hitzkirch railway station a more inviting and distinctive appearance. We are supporting the project by working out a framework for the planning procedure and the assessment of the site’s development potential. We are also clarifying the legal prerequisites for the project’s execution.
