We are the leading partner for investors who wish to invest – or who already invest – both indirectly and directly in the real estate market. Swiss Prime Site thus covers the entire investor spectrum from private through to institutional investors. The product range includes funds (open-ended and closed-ended), mandates, investment foundations, straight bonds and the Swiss Prime Site share.

Investors can invest either directly or indirectly in real estate or in products based on it. We provide real estate investment vehicles and real estate mandates for the full spectrum of investors, from qualified private investors through to institutional investors. The investment strategies differ depending on the types of use, regions and financing requirements, as well as the legal regulations for the vehicles and mandates. The services offered for the investment vehicles and mandates cover the full value creation chain along the real estate life cycle. This includes successfully acquiring a property or site, project development and project realisation, portfolio and asset management, property management and divesting properties, sites or parts thereof as well as capital procurement. The investment platform is a knowledge platform that enables high levels of customer benefit across important topics such as ESG/sustainability (e. g. circular economy) and real estate development. Synergies can be leveraged here that create additional value for our customers and therefore also for our investors. Swiss Prime Site works to the highest quality and sustainability standards and systematically focuses on current and future market needs. The goal is to ensure long-term value generation along the fields of activity of stakeholders, finance, infrastructure, innovation, ecology and employees.

We manage real estate investment vehicles and real estate mandates for the full range of investors, from experienced private investors through to institutional investors.

By means of acquisitions, property developments and conversions, as well as a sharp focus on prime locations, Swiss Prime Site is continuously building up its portfolio. One of the most significant takeovers to date was the acquisition of Maag Holding (2004) with the Maag site in Zurich-West. Prime Tower and the surrounding annex buildings were developed at the site. The acquisition of Jelmoli (2009) doubled the value of the Company’s real estate holdings. In addition, significant developments – such as YOND in Zurich and EspacePost Berne – and conversions of former office floor space have generated further growth and value and created premium properties. Together with Swiss Prime Solutions and Akara (acquisition in January 2022), Swiss Prime Site manages real estate assets of approximately CHF 19 billion.

Swiss Prime Site Immobilien is a real estate investment company focusing on the Swiss market. As at the end of 2021, the portfolio had a total value of CHF 12.8 billion. It consists of high-quality properties in prime locations, mainly occupied by commercial tenants.

The formation of Swiss Prime Site in 1999 by the Credit Suisse Pension Fund, Siemens Pension Fund and Winterthur Leben (today: AXA) laid the foundation for the current property portfolio. Further acquisitions and significant self-development projects (including Messeturm, Prime Tower, YOND and JED) increased the quality and size of the property portfolio to a total of CHF 12.8 billion. The majority of properties (78%) are located in German-speaking Switzerland. The canton of Zurich and particularly Zurich City account for the main share in this region with 46%. Another region in the spotlight is Geneva (20%). Swiss Prime Site has focused its portfolio of high-quality, value-retaining properties situated in prime locations mainly on commercial and service companies and their needs. The main types of use are offices (44%), retail (26%) and logistics/infrastructure (9%).
