The SF Sustainable Property Fund systematically and gradually optimises properties during the holiding period

The SF Sustainable Property Fund invests in real estate assets and projects throughout Switzerland. The main focus of the real estate fund is on residential use. The fund systematically and gradually optimises properties regarding defined sustainability criteria (ESG) during the holding period.

Below are two examples:

Locarno TI, Via Giuseppe Cattori 5

Casa Cinque  is not only a place of connection with the city and the surrounding countryside: it is also a symbol of commitment to a sustainable future. With its architectural solutions and the implementation of environmentally friendly technologies, such as the installation of electric charging stations, a photovoltaic system, in combination with an air-heat-water pump, Casa Cinque strives to reduce the environmental impact and create a harmonious environment for the tenants. Construction work is on schedule and the 43 apartments, and two commercial premises are due to be occupied in December 2024. Marketing with the opportunity to view a show apartment will start at the end of June 2024. The property has a contingent for non-residential lettings. Former existing tenants will be given preferential treatment in the letting process.

 

Schlieren ZH, Rütistrasse 9/11

The property, which was built in 1988 and consists of two building sections and a total of 32 flats, is to undergo a total refurbishment. This includes an energy-efficient refurbishment of the building envelope. As part of the interior refurbishment, new surfaces, new kitchens and new bathrooms will be installed to create a living space that meets modern living requirements. Construction work began in May 2024 with the early renovation of the flat roof. The interior renovation of Rütistrasse 9 and 11 will be carried out in two stages. The flats at Rütistrasse 9 will be ready for occupancy as early as September 2024. The completion of the second stage and the associated readiness for occupancy of Rütistrasse 11 is scheduled for January 2025. Thanks to the energy-efficient refurbishment of the outer shell, the photovoltaic system and the planned connections to the district heating system, the property will be upgraded in line with the strategy. The property, which was built in 1988 and consists of two building sections and a total of 32 flats, is to undergo a total refurbishment.

Market for Rental Apartments: Clarity about Accessory Charges

Since the sharp change in direction by the Swiss National Bank (SNB) in June 2022, the market for rental apartments has seen dramatic developments. The SNB increased the benchmark interest rate for the first time in 15 years in an effort to curb rising inflation and general price pressure.
