Extension St. Jakob by H&deM

On December 21, 2005, the construction of a new 70-meter high building designed by the office of Herzog & deMeuron was symbolically launched in the vicinity of the St. Jakob Stadium. The nineteen-story tower in the shape of a crystal and the expansion of the underground shopping center by 5,100 square meters will cost 90 million Swiss francs, and everything should be completed by 2008 when Switzerland will host the European Football Championship.
