SF Retail Properties Fund – Successful property acquisition: Attractive retail cluster in Oftringen AG ensures sustainable growth

The SF Retail Properties Fund is pleased to announce the successful acquisition of the properties at Nordstrasse 16/18 in Oftringen AG. The strategically well located property, right next to the Oftringen motorway exit (A1), is part of the region's dynamic retail cluster and has a market value of CHF 36 million. The transaction was successfully completed on 1 December 2024.

Attractive tenant structure

With renowned tenants such as Lidl, Fressnapf, KFC, PureGym and Polo Motorrad, the property offers an ideal mix of food and near-food formats, which are complemented by catering, fitness and specialist retail. This diversified use fits in perfectly with the buyer's long-term portfolio strategy and emphasises the attractiveness of the location. 

The properties are heated by environmentally friendly district heating. The property also offers 44 outdoor car parking spaces and 101 parking spaces, which further increases convenience for customers and tenants. 

"This property epitomises our goal of securing functioning retail locations with high customer footfall in attractive locations. The diverse tenant structure with everyday goods and the high-quality infrastructure make the properties a first-class addition to our portfolio," says Sven Egli, Head Asset Management of the SF Retail Properties Fund. 

Following the successful capital increase, the fund strategy of the SF Retail Properties Fund has been sustainably strengthened with the acquisition in Oftringen AG.
