- Pensionskasse Basel-Stadt, the pension fund for Canton of Basel-Stadt employees, and the Geneva Tenants' Association have reached an agreement on the planned renovation of listed buildings at Boulevard Carl-Vogt 35–43 in Geneva.

The agreement covers the 57 remaining affected residential tenancies and establishes measures to protect tenants during the renovation, including temporary replacement accommodation of comparable size, financial assistance with moving costs, and the right to return to their renovated apartments under regulated rental conditions. Additional protections apply to particularly vulnerable tenants, such as elderly people, those with health issues, or those in financially precarious situations. The agreement aims to balance building renovations and energy-efficiency improvements with the need to preserve affordable housing and protect long-standing residents in the La Jonction neighbourhood.
