What we stand for, and where we want to go.

Why we do this

Our actions are shaped by passion and expertise in real estate, financing and investment. Through our projects and services, we create sustainable value in the development and execution of real estate projects, through financial services in real estate, and through attractive investment opportunities. Our solutions are tailor-made and meet the highest quality standards.

Where we want to go

We play a leading role in the development of residential and income properties and are a renowned advisory boutique for financial services in real estate. We anticipate trends and contribute through our projects to sustainable urban and neighbourhood development.

How we achieve our vision

We develop and optimise properties, arrange tailored financing terms and offer attractive investment conditions. In doing so, we act as the interface between the real estate industry and the investment community, continuously expanding our expertise and network.

What we stand for

Excellent quality, personal advice and collaborative partnership. We approach challenges from multiple perspectives, act transparently and with risk awareness, and proactively embrace trends to continuously develop innovative opportunities.

Property Marketplace

Mandated properties and projects.

We broker properties and projects that are not publicly listed. The mandates come directly from our network of owners and are targeted to suitable investors. Our mandated portfolio currently comprises around 27 properties and projects: predominantly residential as well as mixed residential/commercial properties, complemented by select new-build and development projects. Prices range from around CHF 1 million to over CHF 40 million, with a focus on the cantons of Aargau, Zurich and Solothurn.

We provide the detailed fact sheet with addresses, prices and further details on each property only against a signed non-disclosure agreement (NDA). This protects owners and ongoing negotiations.
