    Wincasa expands west and south

    After the positive experiences that were made with the combined CMSM location “Mittelland”, the opening of another hub was the logical consequence, as Thomas Hinderling, Head of CMSM Wincasa says: “That retail specialists look after and further develop different types of property together with area experts , is a recipe for success. On the one hand, everyone involved benefits from the great know-how of the other, and the cooperation also gives rise to exciting new ideas that need to be implemented. »

    Philippe Schroff is regional manager
     The management of the CMSM Western Switzerland & Ticino is in the hands of Philippe Schroff, who, as a retail expert and former head of the Signy Center for many years, is well connected in the region. The team at the CMSM Hub Romandie in Signy is primarily responsible for two major projects: the Signy shopping center and its upcoming revitalization project, and the A-One Business Center in Rolle. Two different properties in which the specialists with their different skills complement each other perfectly.
    For Philippe Schroff, the hub is the ideal form of organization: “In the hub, we have combined the complete expertise of both areas locally. This creates efficiencies and synergies, saves resources and strengthens our market position. In addition, there is still a lot of potential in French-speaking Switzerland that needs to be exploited. Numerous projects are being developed or are imminent in several regions of western Switzerland. The agile hub organization is therefore ideal for enabling rapid adjustment to new customer needs. »

    Ticino closes the circle
     The strategic expansion of the area will continue to be actively promoted. With the acquisition of the Centro Lugano Sud, the first center mandate in Ticino, Wincasa is now represented in all language regions in the CMSM. The existing team on site will be taken over by Wincasa and led by Philippe Schroff. The center was acquired by the Swiss Prime Site Solutions Investment Fund Commercial on May 9, 2022. Philippe Schroff sees the expansion course towards Ticino very positively: “By taking over this experienced team, we now have the opportunity to implement Wincasa’s great competence and strong network in the Ticino region as well. We are very pleased to be present in southern Switzerland, as we can also see major growth opportunities here. »

  • Thomas Hinderling becomes the new division manager

    Thomas Hinderling becomes the new division manager

    Thomas Hinderling has been with Wincasa since 2017. He played a key role in setting up the Mixed-Use Site Management (MUSM) department, which has been in existence for five years, and initially managed the projects in the Zurich area. From 2019, he was assigned to head the MUSM German-speaking part of Switzerland. In this role, he was responsible for the sub-area within Center & Mixed-Use Site Management (CMSM) and was the deputy head of CMSM. The 47-year-old has an Executive MBA Marketing FH, a CAS in Urban Management FH and was CEO and partner of various marketing and distribution companies before joining Wincasa. From May 1, 2022, he will be the new Head of CMSM at Wincasa and thus a member of the Executive Board. Thomas Hinderling will be succeeded by Philipp Arnold as the new head of MUSM German-speaking Switzerland.

    Internal succession regulations
    Thomas Hinderling is looking forward to his new role: “It fills me with joy and pride to take over the management of CMSM from Felix Kubat. We both have worked very well together in the past and have successfully launched many projects. Now it is important to push this work further together with my new team, because there is still a lot of potential.»

    The CMSM department has been headed by Felix Kubat since the end of 2019. During his tenure, he successfully developed and implemented a new strategy for the area. This included, among other things, the establishment of two CMSM locations, thanks to which great added value could be achieved through a targeted bundling of strengths and expertise on the part of center and mixed-use site management. He also confidently led the business through the Corona crisis. He is leaving the company of his own volition and will in future devote himself to management and teaching activities at a commercial vocational school. «In the past 2.5 years at Wincasa, I have been able to shape and continuously develop the Center and Mixed-Use Site area. It was a very exciting and intensive time, which I look back on with great pleasure. Now I’m looking forward to a new chapter. For several years I have been sporadically working as a lecturer at HF level in the field of management training. I will now continue to pursue this passion with a position as a manager and lecturer at a commercial vocational school,” says Kubat about his move.

    Thomas Hinderling’s successor is also an internal change. Philipp Arnold is now taking on the role of Head of MUSM German-speaking Switzerland. He has been with Wincasa since 2014, started out as Center Manager Zentrum Regensdorf & HUB and then took over management of the MUSM Hub Zurich in January 2020. Among other things, Philipp Arnold has a degree in business administration, an MAS in real estate management, an MAS in brand and marketing management and is a RICS member. He is therefore well prepared to succeed Thomas Hinderling.

    Oliver Hofmann, CEO of Wincasa, is very positive about the two internal career steps: “I would like to thank Felix Kubat for his valuable commitment and the good cooperation. It is very gratifying that we were able to nominate Thomas Hinderling as the new head of CMSM and Philipp Arnold as the new head of MUSM German-speaking Switzerland and to organize the successor internally. We are convinced that with this personnel solution we can further strengthen our already leading position in the market.»
