Central malley – the heart of the west of lausanne
The Central Malley project – the first stage in the redevelopment of the brownfield site of Malley – is located in the municipalities of Prilly and Renens close to Malley ice rink and Malley Lumières shopping centre. To the south of the new Prilly-Malley suburban train station, Central Malley connects the m1 metro line, the future t1 tram line and the future improved bus lines. A high-performance public transport network that fosters soft mobility.
In this future eco-district with enormous development potential, Central Malley will provide residential apartments, office space and commercial units to become the vibrant heart of a completely new urban centre. Designed to meet environmental challenges, the project is an integral part of the spatial development plan being implemented by the conurbation featuring a set of ambitious architectural designs with an emphasis on new ways of living. The buildings will provide a total area of 42,200m2 of which 23,700m2 will be used for office space, 14,700m2 for apartments and 3,800m2 for commercial units.
MORE THAN JUST A GATEWAY TO WEST LAUSANNE – A NEW DESTINATION.

To provide its users with a sustainable living and working environment, Central Malley is adopting an overall environmentally friendly approach. The aim is to significantly reduce the impact of construction and operation on the environment.
In a high-density area, SBB Real Estate is developing a mixed project combining residential accommodation, office space and commercial units which aims to ensure the energy self-sufficiency of the buildings. Just a few minutes from Lausanne city centre, the site has good access to the public transport network. Central Malley is also the first development project in French-speaking Switzerland certified as a ‘2000-Watt Site’.
A PIONEERING ECO-DISTRICT BASED ON EXCELLENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY STANDARDS.
The ‘2000-Watt Site’ certificate is an award presented to residential areas that deploy resources sustainably to construct and use buildings and for planning the mobility solutions required.
The ‘Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen’ (DGNB) certificate covers a building’s full life cycle. It takes account of its environmental, economic and socio-cultural characteristics based on five specific criteria: impact on the local environment, costs, impact on health, technical qualities and quality management of the planning stages.
A meeting place between the sports centre and the future park in the south of the area, the public space at the heart of Central Malley will ensure synergy in 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.
Each reinterpreting Malley’s rich industrial past in their own way, they intensify the volumes, perspectives and materials to make the location stand out, all while meeting different functional needs. Situated on the ground floor, the commercial units are directly connected to the public space and its users, with restaurants, a brewery, bar, supermarket, bank, hairdresser’s, kiosk or wine bar. On the floors above, there is completely modular office space supplemented on some floors by urban gardens, and a wide range of 1.5 to 5.5-room apartments.
