"Building land in Stettenfeld, Riehen: 1'751 m² at CHF 1'136/m² – with a new winning design, re-parcelling and ongoing lease income!"

Riehen is getting a new neighbourhood, and you can already be part of it. On 5 November 2026, the municipality of Riehen presented the winning design, Landschaft für alle!, for Stettenfeld, one of the largest residential development areas in the Basel region and the largest undeveloped building zone in the canton of Basel-Stadt. Right in the middle are two adjoining plots for sale, measuring around 1'751 m² in total (1'428 m² and 323 m²), which are listed in the documentation as being in residential zone W2a.

The winning design proposes green residential courtyards inspired by Riehen, a park with a kindergarten and café, as well as new sports facilities. In return for the smaller building zone, greater building heights will be permitted in future: three full storeys plus a penthouse level are planned, and according to media reports, the overall floor area ratio is set to rise from 0.6 to 0.9. We have an external valuation by Dr. K. Fierz (December 2025), which already indicates potential for around 1'313 m² of gross floor area and 985 m² of net usable area under the current zoning.

A key point for your planning: As part of the land readjustment, the entire Stettenfeld area will probably be completely re-parcelled. The historically developed plots, some of them narrow, are expected to be replaced by compact, rectangular or square building plots that can be developed much more efficiently. The existing plot shapes and boundary setbacks are therefore not relevant to future development. You will acquire a 1'751 m² share of land in the new neighbourhood, with the prospect of a building plot that can be developed efficiently and economically.

Next, the municipality and the winning team will draw up the overall urban development concept. This will be followed by the zoning and development plans, as well as the land readjustment. Public consultation is planned for early 2027, the land-use planning process is expected to start in 2028, and the Residents' Council is expected to make its decision from 2029. The municipality expects infrastructure works and construction to begin from around 2030. Until then, existing lease agreements will contribute around CHF 8'500.- per year towards the holding costs. This makes the plot ideal for investors, developers and project owners with a long-term outlook who want to secure a position at an attractive entry price and contribute to the planning now, before the re-parcelling.

• Attractive price of CHF 1'990'000.-, just around CHF 1'136 per m² of land
