Richti Wallisellen is a mixed-use development (residential, commercial, offices) on former industrial land situated between Wallisellen railway station and the 1970s-era Glattzentrum indoor shopping mall.The master plan of the new complex was designed by architect Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani on a model of an Italian city center. Richti Wallisellen is made of six five-storey high buildings and one 72-meter-high glass high-rise. Four buildings are for residential purpose. The first two, already inhabited, host private apartments and are respectively designed by Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani (Konradhof) and SAM Architekten (Escherhof). The second two host apartments for rent, and are both designed by Diener & Diener. The remaining two buildings are for offices. The first office building hosts the new headquarter of Allianz Suisse from end 2013, and is designed by Wiel Arets Architects. This is a much discussed and highly technological complex, and is composed of 2 glass buildings connected by bridges. The second office building will host the new headquarter of UPC Cablecom from end 2014, and is designed by Max Dudler Architekten. The complex has several public gardens with recreational areas for kids and a small Japanese garden in the internal court of the Allianz low building. All gardens are for public use, and open to public. The Richtiarkade is the main artery of the complex, and has Richtiplatz at its center.

The Glattzentrum, more formally known as the Einkaufszentrum Glatt or Glatt shopping centre, is a shopping mall located in the Glatt Valley close to the Swiss city of Zurich. Politically, the mall is situated in the municipality of Wallisellen.The mall was opened in 1975, being modeled on similar malls in the United States. Like its US progenitors, the mall was intended to be accessed by car, and it is located close to the A1 motorway and provides spacious car parking. In 2010, phase 2 of the Stadtbahn Glattal opened, including an elevated tram stop linked to the mall by a footbridge. Before that the public transportation connections were limited to three bus lines (nr. 94, 759 and 787) connecting the center to the railway stations Zürich Airport, Zürich Oerlikon, Dübendorf, Wallisellen and Dietlikon. When built, the mall was jointly owned by the Migros, Globus and Jelmoli groups, each of which operated an anchor store within the centre. Today the mall is owned by Swiss Life. The Migros store still exists, as does the (now Migros owned) Globus store, but Jelmoli no longer has any involvement. In addition to the two remaining anchor stores, there are four specialty markets, five restaurants, four bars and 90 specialty shops. In front of Glattzentrum is the newly built open-air Richti shopping center.
