Project Scope
Andrea Jörger, Managing Partner at Horwath HTL, led the project for The Circle at Zurich Airport, a landmark project involving a one-billion-dollar investment. As project lead, he was responsible for overseeing key aspects of the development, guiding it through important milestones from concept design to execution.
The project included two Hyatt-branded hotels with a total of 550 rooms and a 10,000 m² convention centre, forming essential components of the vision to create a premier mixed-use destination. Andrea coordinated critical elements such as the building application and approval processes, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and facilitating smooth administrative progression.
A core part of the engagement was the operator search for the hotels and convention centre. Andrea managed a detailed evaluation of potential operators, focusing on alignment with the project’s positioning and local market needs. This process resulted in successful negotiations with Hyatt, securing management contracts tailored to meet the project’s goals and operational demands.
Throughout the planning phase, Andrea ensured that the design, facilities, and operational workflows were aligned with market expectations and stakeholder objectives, integrating the project’s various components into the broader development framework.
The Circle at Zurich Airport is now recognized as a benchmark for mixed-use developments, combining hospitality, convention facilities, and commercial spaces in one of Europe’s key locations.
