«VIVO» - a new neighborhood has come alive in Aesch

Over the past three years, the «VIVO Aesch» district has been developed in the central location that lies close to nature at the entrance to Aesch (BL) – with four independent building units grouped around a large, green square with play areas and spaces for encounters. The diversified range of uses includes 228 rental apartments, 36 VivoLive apartments, fully fitted office space (VivoWork), commercial space, studios and hobby rooms. The fully leased apartments were occupied between August and October 2024.

The Vivo site, which covers an area of almost 16,000 m², is easily accessible with both public transit and private vehicles. Basel Central Station can be reached in less than 30 minutes with the tram line 11 from the tram stop that lies directly in front of it. The highway connection to the A18 is only a few minutes drive away. Schools, shopping facilities and the local recreation area are all within walking distance.

The district cleverly combines living, working and well-being: a central neighborhood square, equipped with a playground, numerous seating areas and a fountain, connects the four buildings and serves as a central meeting point. Studios and hobby rooms are among the project’s additional services.

The entire Vivo site, with its 228 apartments and around 4,700 m² of commercial and service space, has been certified with the SNBS Gold certificate. The photovoltaic system on the roofs provides electricity for the tenants’ own consumption.

«Vivo Aesch» is another example of the innovative strength of UBS «Sima». With the help of forward-looking ideas, retail and catering options, co-living and work concepts have been further developed and complete the working and living ensemble. The new building project ideally complements the UBS «Sima» portfolio in terms of regional and usage diversification.
