In its two investment groups – Real Estate Switzerland and Sustainable Real Estate Projects Switzerland, 1291 The Swiss Investment Foundation invests throughout Switzerland in selected properties as well as new construction and development projects with the potential to create value. The focus of the portfolios of both investment groups is the management and development of real estate used exclusively for residential purposes. The long-term aim is for at least 60% of the total rental income to come from residential properties.
Acquisitions cover both residential and non-residential real estate like offices, retail units, commercial premises and logistics centers. The focus is on achieving the right balance of real estate in different locations and with different uses, with a focus on the residential sector. Sites are selected primarily on the basis of property market cycles, economic power and forecasts, politics and the legal/tax situation. Property location and quality are key factors for reletting, long-term profitability and opportunities to increase value.
- Attractive locations with the potential to increase real estate value
- Sustainable profitability guaranteed by long-term rental agreements
- Building quality and structure suited to the intended use
- Environmental factors and sustainability
