OLYMPIA No. 107: a new milestone as the building permit enters into force
OAKS GROUP has reached a further milestone in the development of OLYMPIA No. 107 in Vésenaz: the building permit is now in force. The project, which comprises five apartments, leaves the design phase and enters realisation.
A new phase for OLYMPIA No. 107
A permit entering into force is a decisive moment in the life of a property project. It concludes months of work, coordination and commitment, carried out with every party involved — architects, engineers, agents and partners — from the first studies to the granting of the required authorisations.
For OAKS GROUP, it also marks the concrete move from the development phase into realisation.
What "in force" means for a building permit
In Geneva, a construction authorisation is not enforceable as soon as it is issued: it becomes binding once the appeal period has expired with no appeal filed. A permit in force therefore means the project can no longer be challenged administratively and that work may begin within the authorised framework.
It also fixes the final parameters of the building: siting, volume, unit types and internal organisation. For a developer, it turns a programme into a plannable construction site, with costs and a schedule that can be committed with contractors and financing partners.
Five apartments in Vésenaz
OLYMPIA No. 107 stands in Vésenaz, in the municipality of Collonge-Bellerive, on the left bank of the canton of Geneva. The scheme comprises five apartments designed by the MHPM practice, in a residential setting between the lake and the surrounding countryside.
The programme was designed for a privileged living environment: generous homes, open to light and landscape, in a municipality where new supply remains scarce. The project page sets out the scheme's details, plans and availability.
A collective achievement
Behind every property project there is first and foremost a team. OAKS GROUP extends its thanks to all its teams and partners for their commitment, their expertise and the remarkable work carried out throughout the development of OLYMPIA No. 107.
This collaboration sits at the heart of the group's method: bringing skills together, coordinating expertise and moving forward with a shared objective. The quality of a project is built long before the first ground is broken.
The next chapter begins now
With the permit in force, OLYMPIA No. 107 enters a new phase: site preparation, consultation of contractors and planning of the construction stages. The group will pursue the development with the same standards, with the ambition of delivering a scheme that meets the objectives set.
One milestone is behind us. A new story begins.
