Switzerland

Property & Infrastructure 

Investments in real estate are core elements of private and institutional portfolios and have established themselves as a separate asset class. Sound knowledge of local markets is a prerequisite for any investment decision to be successful.
Switzerland is well-known for its high-quality infrastructure and engages in forward-looking projects in the areas of transportation, energy, utilities and communications. In light of extensive construction taking place in Switzerland, there is increasing focus on the question of how to finance these projects.

 What are your challenges?

 

Every company must deal with buildings, whether these be properties they use themselves or investments.

  • What is the right strategy for you with regard to locations, utilization, taxes, accounting and returns?
  • Could tied-up capital be freed up through the sale of real estate and used to finance business operations?
  • Are management services organized in the best possible way? Do the investments make a sustainable contribution toward the value of the company?
