IWG LAUNCHES 5-STAR LUXURY BUSINESS CENTRE IN THE ZURICH CITY CENTRE
IWG will open Bahnhofplatz by Signature, a seven-storey luxury business centre in Zurich city centre,
in December 2023. The new 5-star workspace in the prestigious District 1 leaves no wishes
unfulfilled: 76 private offices, 600 state-of-the-art workstations, a meditation room, a game room, a
rooftop terrace, a gym with personal trainers and a private members club with a luxury Italian restaurant, this is just one part of the high-level offering.
It follows the already successfully launched Quartier des Banques by Signature in Geneva. "Our new
location in Zurich is in the luxury segment and is aimed for an audience with the highest demands for
quality and comfort," says Patrizia Statelli, CEO of IWG Switzerland.
Our Workspace
Stepping into history every day, yet surrounded by modern luxury. Bahnhofplatz by Signature is a
workplace experience within an iconic 19th-century edifice in Zürich's elite District 1, harmoniously
combines the past's grandeur with today's functionality. Located directly opposite the city's central
transportation services, welcoming international and local clients becomes seemless. Each of the
seven floors boasts unique workspaces that reflect the building's rich history, from its vaulted ceilings
to its carefully preserved original features. Fuel your day with culinary delights from our in-house
Italian Luxury Cuisine by Intenso, keep your well-being in check at our state-of-the-art gym, and let
your ideas soar as high as our rooftop views.
Here, your business is not just an activity, but an experience.
