Hertizentrum high-rises 2–5 in Zug
Renovation of 68 flats – without evicting tenants
The four high-rises at Hertizentrum belong to the Zug Pension Fund (nos. 3–5) and WWZ (no. 2). A full renovation with extra storeys and notice for all 68 households by 2028 was planned. After protests, the owners dropped the mass eviction; the renovation is being replanned to take place with tenants in place.

What it is about
The four high-rise blocks in the Hertizentrum are owned by the Zug Pension Fund (numbers 3 to 5) and the WWZ (number 2). They are due to be refurbished. The original plan was for a complete refurbishment involving the addition of extra storeys and the termination of all 68 tenancies.
Following protests and motions in the Cantonal Council and the Grand Municipal Council, the owners decided not to give notice to vacate the premises at the end of February 2026.
What changes for the neighbourhood
For the tenants, this means they can stay in their flats whilst the refurbishment is taking place. The owners are therefore re-planning the project. How and when the refurbishment will take place has yet to be decided.
