  • Property portfolio grows despite stable income

    Property portfolio grows despite stable income

    The real estate company PSP Swiss Property has announced its 2025 business results. Property income reached 349.2 million, down 0.2 per cent on the previous year’s result. On a like-for-like basis, however, growth of 1.3 per cent was achieved, mainly due to index adjustments. Profit excluding property gains amounted to 225.4 million, or 4.91 Swiss francs per share. Net profit rose by 8.9 per cent to CHF 408.5 million, mainly as a result of higher portfolio revaluations of CHF 231.1 million. Earnings per share increased to CHF 8.91 and the dividend per share to CHF 3.95.

    The portfolio value rose to CHF 10.1 billion at the end of 2025, with 150 investment properties and ten development properties. The revaluation was mainly driven by successful lettings in high-street retail in Zurich and rising market tenant expectations in prime locations. The vacancy rate was 3.5 per cent. The average remaining term of leases (WAULT) was 4.9 years, and 5.3 years for the largest tenants.

    Overall, the Swiss market for commercial properties remained stable, according to the report. In 2025, high-quality office space in central locations was in particular demand. In Geneva and Zurich, demand for city centre locations remained high, while the markets in Bern and Lausanne remained stable. In Basel, the oversupply of office space continued. The investment market picked up over the course of the year thanks to moderately falling interest rates and improved financing conditions.

    PSP expects the market to continue to develop positively in 2026, with stable rental demand in its core business. According to the company, low interest rates are likely to support the transaction market, while high-quality properties remain in short supply. The company therefore intends to invest selectively, exploit opportunities with long-term value growth potential and continue its shareholder-friendly dividend policy.

  • Sustainable office property strengthens real estate portfolio

    Sustainable office property strengthens real estate portfolio

    Swiss Prime Site has acquired a new office property on Pfingstweidstrasse in Zurich-West, as detailed in a press release. The property, which has a rental area of 19,000 square meters and a net yield of 3.8 percent, is already fully let to the stock exchange operator SIX Group Services AG.

    The acquisition marks the last major investment of the CHF 300 million capital increase for growth investments from last February. In April and August, Swiss Prime Site had already used the funds to acquire office properties in Geneva and Lausanne. All new acquisitions generate yields that are significantly higher than the portfolio yield and increase the net asset value (NAV) per share as well as the funds from operations (FFO) per share.

    Swiss Prime Site and the private seller have agreed not to disclose the purchase price of the property. Due to the recent year of construction, the sustainable construction method and the office building’s district heating connection, Swiss Prime Site expects a BREEAM sustainability rating of “very good”.

    “The transaction underscores our focus on first-class, centrally located office properties and shows how agile we are in deploying fresh capital for sustainable growth. It is particularly pleasing that we were able to acquire this prestigious property – used by the Swiss stock exchange as our country’s central infrastructure – as part of an exclusive purchase review and thanks to the trusting cooperation with the seller”, René Zahnd, CEO of Swiss Prime Site, is quoted in the press release.

    With the three acquisitions made and a reduction in the planned property sales as part of capital recycling, Swiss Prime Site expects an increase in rental income of CHF 20 million from 2026. The transaction was completed on December 1, 2025.
