Zwhatt: Contemporary living with immediate availabilities
Finding a true home in Switzerland goes beyond practical considerations and always has an emotional dimension. The basic conditions for a new apartment must be right: size, layout, amenities, rent, transport links, and infrastructure. But additionally, one also needs to feel at home and find one's place in the local community. Zwhatt in Regensdorf, the new development at the outskirts of Zurich, promises both.
About 600 modern apartments are being constructed here between now and 2030, with the first construction phase just finished. Current availabilities are in two high-rises with sweeping views, one of which is renowned for its wood panelling, “the Holzhochhaus”.
The available units range from one-bedroom apartments (357 sq ft plus balcony starting at CHF 1.610 including utilities) to three-bedroom apartments (996 sq ft plus balcony for CHF 3.420). None of the rental units requires a deposit.
17 minutes to Zurich HB
Zwhatt is located right next to the Regensdorf-Watt train station. Zurich main station can be reached in 17 minutes by train, with connections available every 15 minutes. The fastest direct service runs every 30 minutes. All parking spaces offer charging stations, mainly powered by solar energy. Car-free households receive an annual public transport contribution of CHF 200–350, depending on the apartment size, as well as rental credits for the on-site mobility station. The station provides electric cars, scooters and bikes, all of which are conveniently bookable via the tenant app.
The overall design of Zwhatt combines the best of both city and village life: an open central square with a water fountain and a pavilion offering convenience, a childcare centre and kindergarten on site, and, in the near future, coffee shops, restaurants, and even a sauna.
Right outside of Zwhatt, steps away from the residential units, are shopping facilities and restaurants of all kinds, pharmacies, and medical and dental practices. Within the municipality of Regensdorf, there are more than 10 kindergartens, six primary schools, a secondary school, and a regional music school, as well as all the facilities a modern lifestyle requires. Living at Zwhatt allows for living locally and easily getting around on foot.
Part of the community from day one
Zwhatt provides tenants with a "settlement coach" for their first orientation and building connections within this new community. A range of communal spaces – two lounges, two pavilions, and the outdoor spaces – make meeting others and connecting easy.
The Zwhatt app allows for convenient interactions with other residents, the community coach, and facility management, getting questions answered and addressing any practical concerns. Everyone relatively new to Switzerland can enjoy being part of the community from day one.
Regensdorf itself, founded in 870, reflects both a proud history and the dynamic development of modern Switzerland. The village and its immediate vicinity offer worthwhile destinations for walks or bike rides, for exploring solo or with family and friends.
Some local sights include historic buildings such as the 1040 fort ruin of Alt-Regensberg, the Upper Church from the 1100s, and the Sander storage building from 1626. Nearby natural spaces include Katzensee, a charming lake a 20-minute walk away from Zwhatt, with a public bath on its southern shore.
Zwhatt offers more than modern, well-equipped apartments, some immediately available and more from fall 2026, but a lifestyle which combines both worlds: Urban conveniences in a contemporary setting, but also a community within a historic village close to landmark sights and open nature.
