Wankdorfcity 3: The first Tiny Houses are now occupied

Wankdorfcity 3 is becoming a residential neighbourhood: the first residents began moving into the nine Tiny Houses at Wankdörfli, located on the roof of the Magazingebäude building, at the end of September. This marks the arrival of the first residential community in Bern’s new urban district.

Compact living at the heart of one of Switzerland’s largest urban development projects: with Wankdörfli and its nine Tiny Houses, Wankdorfcity 3 now offers residential accommodation for the first time, marking another important step towards creating a vibrant, mixed-use neighbourhood. Each of the approximately 22-square-metre houses is located on the roof of the renovated Magazingebäude building and features its own private outdoor space. A shared laundry facility and communal areas complement the compact living concept.

The arrival of the first residents marks the beginning of a new phase for Wankdorfcity 3. What is currently a development site is gradually becoming a neighbourhood where people live, work and connect. By 2029, nearly 500 apartments will be built under the leadership of Immofonds Asset Management AG, alongside a diverse range of facilities for work, education, services and leisure.

Wincasa has been responsible for the site management of Wankdorfcity 3 since July 2026, supporting the neighbourhood throughout its phased development. This also includes community development services designed to connect residents and foster a vibrant neighbourhood from the outset.

“With the first residents moving into Wankdörfli, Wankdorfcity 3 is becoming a place to live for the first time. This is an important milestone for us: we can now help shape community life and neighbourhood connections from the very beginning, working together with the first residents,” says Lorenz Krattiger, Real Estate Site Manager at Wincasa and responsible for the site management of Wankdorfcity 3.

The first residents are already helping to shape the emerging neighbourhood, long before Wankdorfcity 3 is scheduled for completion in 2029. Their arrival marks a first visible milestone: Wankdorfcity 3 is not only taking shape physically. The neighbourhood is coming to life.
