Lausanne centre
"A central address,
a building to reinvent."
A mixed-use
investment
building
in the heart of Lausanne.
Ideally located between Place de Bel-Air and Place de la Riponne, in the historic centre of Lausanne, this mixed-use building enjoys exceptional visibility and accessibility.
Built in 1750, the building is vacant and requires a full renovation. It includes a 118 m² ground-floor retail unit with high footfall visibility, on a 155 m² plot right in the city centre.
The building is currently entirely vacant and awaiting renovation. An architect's transformation project has been studied by Meylan Monbaron Architectes Sàrl, with an estimated construction budget of CHF 3,551,362 excl. VAT (± 20%).
The project comprises 13 student flats — 10 studios and 3 two-room apartments — for a total planned living area of 525 m². A rare investment asset in a university city where rental demand remains structurally higher than supply.
