Attractive and available sites are decisive location factors for companies. Targeted site development gives rise to new value chains, modern working environments and vibrant neighbourhoods. The Economic Promotion department supports municipalities, landowners and companies with development.
Our approach for your site
- Cooperative: We shape the process alongside partners. Successful sites are created through dialogue between the municipality, owners, the canton and business.
- Needs-orientated: Each development is tailored to the local conditions and the needs of those involved.
- Clear vision: We agree the development goals in a mission statement or master plan – for example, with respect to utilisation, access, mobility, sustainability and architectural quality.
- Economic efficiency and sustainability: We focus on sustainable concepts that are both economically viable and stable in value over the long term.
- Spatial planning and mobility: We see planning as an opportunity. We realise our vision, taking into account the legal and infrastructural framework conditions. This results in solutions that are both feasible and future-orientated.
Steps to successful site development
- Partnership-based support: We support you on the journey from the first declaration of intent to successful realisation. We offer you our experience from numerous projects – from project organisation to location marketing and planning permission.
- Professional planning: Together with experienced developers, transport planners and local planning offices, we develop a solid basis for your project. By involving specialist cantonal offices, risks can be recognised at an early stage and procedures accelerated.
- Careful realisation: We plan projects right through to realisation – providing support with communication, owner activation and company establishment.
In this way, together we create attractive spaces that attract companies, convince investors and strengthen communities in the long term.

Spatial planning in the Canton of St.Gallen
If new zoning is required for the creation of employment zones, we cooperate closely with the Office for Spatial Development and Geoinformation (Amt für Raumentwicklung und Geoinformation AREG), the municipalities and regions – for efficient, legally compliant and economically viable planning permissions.
Why active site development pays off
- Economic revitalisation: New businesses create jobs and increase tax potential.
- Sustainable internal development: Brownfield sites and vacant properties are made usable again.
- Quality of settlements: Good planning creates attractive, mixed and vibrant neighbourhoods.
- Planning security: Early coordination with the canton and specialised agencies accelerates projects.
- Positive perception: Successful sites strengthen the attractiveness of municipalities as residential and business locations.
