At the heart of Lausanne West
Placed in the heart of western Lausanne, Central Malley spans the municipalities of Prilly and Renens, directly opposite to the Vaudoise Aréna and the Malley Lumières shopping centre.
Situated at the base of the CFF Prilly-Malley railway station, the site is well connected by public transportation such as trains, the M1 metro, several bus lines, and soon the forthcoming T1 tram, just three minutes from Lausanne station. A comprehensive public transport network enables users to easily navigate the Lausanne agglomeration and beyond.
Central Malley provides a diverse mix of housing, offices, and retail spaces, offering meaningful experiences while addressing the evolving needs of contemporary society. This neighbourhood, with its exceptional development potential, also responds to the ecological challenges of our time and aligns with the territorial development plan for the agglomeration.
Blending its industrial past with cultural connections and emerging urban trends, Central Malley is a vibrant space for living and recreation, appealing to those who value authenticity, both day and night.

The Minergie label is based on good insulation of the building envelope, a highly efficient energy supply based on renewable energy sources and automatic air exchange. Minergie-P buildings are characterised by maximum energy efficiency and a high level of comfort. Minergie-ECO buildings complement the Minergie labels with a particularly healthy and environmentally friendly construction method.
Central Malley, is built according to the SNBS-Quartier label, which emphasises all aspects of sustainability (social, economic and ecological). Each building is also Minergie P-ECO certified (provisional certificate), which guarantees excellent energy performance, with good insulation of the thermal envelope, a supply of renewable and local energy. This is complemented by healthy and comfortable indoor air (large natural light, controlled noise and acoustic protection, climate resilience) and high ecological quality.
Architecture
At the heart of a new urban centre already rich in sports activities, businesses, shops and residential areas, Central Malley will also offer a public space in the middle of its site, a real junction and synergy point for the future district. Two new landmark buildings on either side will add vibrancy to the area and make a strong architectural impact on the landscape.
With the continuous reinterpretation of Malley’s rich industrial past, the volumes, perspectives and materials intensify, thus making the location stand out, while meeting different functional needs. Situated on the ground floor, the commercial units are directly connected to the public space and its users: restaurants, a brewery, a bar, a supermarket, a bank, a hair salon, a kiosk and a wine bar. On the floors above, there are completely modular office spaces supplemented by urban gardens on some floors, and a wide range of 1.5 to 5.5-room apartments.
