As 2025 draws to a close, we reflect
on a year of transformation and progress. By focusing on our two core areas,
our own portfolio and asset management, Swiss Prime Site has further strengthened its
position as Switzerland’s leading real estate company.
The fourth quarter was marked by
significant achievements. Following two acquisitions in Western Switzerland,
the recently announced acquisition in Zurich-West completes the targeted
allocation of funds from the capital increase. This prime property in the city
of Zurich is an ideal addition to our portfolio, enhancing both its value and
earnings potential. At the same time, the laying of the foundation stone for
the YOND Campus in Zurich-Albisrieden signals the start of the next development
phase for this key site.
Our asset management business also
reached important milestones: the successful Listing of the Investment Fund
Commercial (IFC) and additional capital raised for Akara Diversity PK have
strengthened our fund offering and market presence.
We have made further progress in sustainability and quality. Our ESG strategy was validated by the latest GRESB rating, and our commitment to architectural excellence is reflected in our signing of the «Kodex hohe Baukultur». At the same time, our digital transformation is accelerating thanks to partnerships with start-ups from our in-house accelerator programme, helping us streamline processes and foster innovation.
After a decade serving as CEO, René Zahnd will step down from his role and leave Swiss Prime Site at the end of the year. Under his guidance, the company has undergone significant strategic repositioning. Marcel Kucher, currently Chief Financial Officer and Group Executive Board member since 2021, will assume the position of CEO at the beginning of 2026. His comprehensive expertise in the business provides both continuity and clear strategic guidance.
We thank you for your trust and partnership. Wishing you and your families a joyful festive season and a healthy, successful start to 2026.
