The property sparks national interest and counts among the most prestigious structures in the style of the new renaissance in canton Lucerne. The transfer of ownership has taken place.

The «Gotthard building» today is home to the two welfare law divisons of the Swiss Federal Supreme Court, which is a long-term tenant here. Supplemented by attractive retail space on the ground floor, the building complies perfectly with Swiss Prime Site's investment strategy.

Situated in a prime location, in excellent condition and featuring a tenant with the highest credit rating, the building is ideally suitable for Swiss Prime Site AG's portfolio».
