New-build projects by cooperatives
When a new building is first occupied, many flats often become available at the same time, a chance to apply for a cooperative flat. Here you find current and upcoming first lettings with their application windows.

How a first letting works: examples from practice
As of: 30 Oct 2026. The examples below come from pages we read on that day. Dates change: the page of the cooperative or foundation concerned, which we link next to each item, is always the binding source.
Application windows
The Stiftung Alterswohnungen der Stadt Zürich (SAW) gives 23 Sept to 19 Oct 2026 as the application period for the first letting "Hardau: letting after conversion" (64 flats for older people, move-in spring 2027). For the Koch estate of the Stiftung Familienwohnungen (Stiftung Familienwohnungen) the project page says: "The application window for the first letting is closed."
Your tip: In these examples a missed window does not come back. Whoever subscribes to or watches the project page early sees a window while it is open.
Documents and waiting times
For the Koch estate (Stiftung Familienwohnungen) an extract from the debt enforcement register for the tenants was among the documents required. The Dr. Stephan à Porta-Stiftung (Dr. Stephan à Porta-Stiftung) writes: "We are currently not accepting flat applications" and says it will inform people early as soon as it accepts applications again.
Your tip: Have the required documents ready before a window opens.
How long listings stay online
The association Wohnbaugenossenschaften Zürich writes that advertisements on cooperatives' websites are "mostly published only for a short time" and on portals, because of the huge demand, "often only for 15 to 30 minutes". The ABZ writes that vacant flats stay advertised on its website for at least 24 hours, and recommends its newsletter.
Your tip: A search profile that notifies you early saves exactly the time that counts here.
What Wohnify does about it (and what it does not yet)
- We watch project pages and letting pages and record what we know for sure.
- We only show an application window as a date once we have verified it.
- Email notices only exist for verified application windows: if a window is open and we have read it on the cooperative's page, we report it to accounts with a matching search profile in that city (as with the Koch district). For most projects we do not yet know a verified window.
Keep an eye on application windows.
Application windows are often open for only two weeks. Wohnify checks cooperatives about every 30 minutes and alerts you after each check.
