Villa Collective Nidau | BE

The Villa Collective Nidau is a high-quality and established health and nursing care property in a prime location close to the town center of Nidau. The architecturally impressive ensemble consists of a listed villa from 1896, a pavilion-style intermediate building (2008) and a wheelchair-accessible new building with residential studios (1990), which are functionally and structurally connected to each other. The complex is also

complemented by a historic garden house with a hipped roof and a bird aviary (built in 1928) and a well-maintained outdoor area with green spaces, a bicycle shelter and ancillary buildings. The villa and the garden house are listed in the cantonal inventory of monuments and underline the property’s representative character. The entire complex has been successfully operated as a nursing and care home since 2012 and is currently rented to Tertianum.

The existing lease agreement expires in September 2027.

Thanks to the fully available nursing care infrastructure, the generous and flexible room structure and the zoning WG3 (living / commercial / office), the Villa Collective is suitable for both a seamless continuation in the nursing or health care sector and for alternative, permissible uses in the service, education or administrative environment.Building layout & structural structure

Old building – Villa (built in 1896)

The listed villa with a quarter-hipped roof and dormer windows extends over two full floors, a converted attic floor and a basement. The vertical access is via a two-flight staircase with a half landing; there is no lift in the old building. The façade consists of exposed brick with ornamental stone alternation and careful sandstone detailing. There are partially double-glazed wooden windows. Roller blinds are used as sun protection. The rooms are equipped with historic radiators with Danfoss regulation. The main entrance is via a staircase or ramp on the west side into the intermediate building. On the ground floor there are communal and dining rooms.

The basement houses the central laundry room, the heating room (gas boiler Elco, 2011, boiler 400 l), a food storage room and a cold storage room with two cold storage compartments (2013). The 1st floor: office space.

The top floor is occupied by a 3½-room apartment that is rented out externally. The floor coverings

on the ground floor















are predominantly parquet flooring, supplemented by antique floor tiles in the corridors and stairwell, as well as tiles in the wet rooms and kitchens. Intermediate building/pavilion (built in 2008) Between the villa and the new building there is a single-story pavilion that is used as a lounge and dining room. It includes a buffet and part of the kitchen, which is functionally connected to the main kitchen in the old building. The intermediate building is accessible via the main west entrance as well as an additional wheelchair-accessible entrance on the east side. The building is not basement-level and is topped by a flat roof. New building (built in 1990) The new building with a saddle roof and dormer windows has three full floors, an attic floor that has been converted into living space, and a basement. A centrally located spiral staircase on the north side and a Schindler lift (1988, control system renewed in 2021) connect all the floors and ensure that the building is fully wheelchair-accessible. Access is via the intermediate building. On the ground floor there is a foyer with a fireplace and a lounge area, as well as six studios with a wet room and balcony. On the 1st floor there are more studios as well as a central area with an office, kitchen with cupboards, toilet, and hygiene room for the ward staff or night staff. On the 2nd floor and the top floor there are additional studios. All the units have a balcony, a wet room, a barrier-free design, and a patient call system. The basement contains a lounge, therapy and storage rooms, as well as the building and lift technology; this area is also directly accessible via a western external staircase.
