    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.

  • Strong growth and portfolio expansion in the first half of the year

    Strong growth and portfolio expansion in the first half of the year

    Mobimo Holding AG can look back on a strong first half of 2025. Specifically, the Lucerne-based real estate company increased its operating result at EBIT level including revaluations from CHF 83.3 million to CHF 144.5 million year-on-year, Mobimo announced in a press release. At the same time, net profit including revaluations rose from CHF 65.6 million to CHF 109.7 million.

    The company cites success from developments and sales promotion as the drivers of this positive development. This increased to CHF 24.9 million compared to the same period of the previous year, almost doubling the figure. Revaluations resulted in a net appreciation of CHF 71.6 million in Mobimo’s property portfolio. At CHF 72.6 million, rental income remained at the previous year’s level.

    The value of the property portfolio totalled CHF 3.9 billion as at the end of June, compared with CHF 3.8 billion at the end of 2024. Mobimo’s total assets also exceeded the CHF 4 billion threshold for the first time. In June, the company was included in theSTOXX Europe 600 index of the 600 largest European companies.

    Mobimo intends to utilise its solid financing situation for “a substantial external growth step”: On 7 August, the real estate company signed the contract for the purchase of the portfolio of EMWE Immobilien AG from Zurich. It consists of five residential properties with an annual rental income of around CHF 3 million and three residential properties under construction.
