Roger and Mirka Federer have reportedly hit a snag in their plans to build a $92 million mansion on the shores of Lake Zurich. The couple have been hit with a brutal setback in $92m relocation plan.
The tennis golden couple are building a stunning new family home in Rappersil-Jona, a municipality in the Wahlkreis of See-Gaster in Switzerland.
The Federers had been hoping to move in by the end of 2021 but have since encountered a number of setbacks.
Local media in Switzerland reports construction has stopped because of contaminated land near the lakeshore.
The area was found to have ‘scrap and rubble’ throughout, which reportedly caused the suspension of the building application.
Environmental groups have also expressed concerns over the construction, with water protection organisation Aqua Viva among those to oppose the plans.
The Federers have now been forced to submit a new planning application, reportedly changing construction firm and architects.
