Swiss Life Asset Managers and real estate advisory firm Club Estate have launched a Swiss prime commercial property strategy, securing CHF220m (€214.6m) in a first close and a CHF1bn investment pipeline.
The newly created venture will invest in income-generating, high-quality commercial assets located in Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne and Basel – “cities characterised by persistent supply constraints in the prime segment”, the companies said.
Marcus Sasse, CEO and managing partner at Club Estate, said: “This collaboration with Swiss Life Asset Managers marks a major milestone for Club Estate and is a strong endorsement of our platform and strategy.
“Access to exclusive opportunities in Switzerland’s most attractive urban markets through a leading institutional partner is invaluable. We are proud to join forces with Swiss Life Asset Managers to build a meaningful portfolio in this resilient and high-potential segment.”
Fabian Linke, co-head real estate business development Switzerland at Swiss Life Asset Managers, said: “We are excited to launch this partnership, providing unique access to prime commercial properties in major Swiss cities and showcasing our expertise in portfolio, asset, and real estate management at Swiss Life Asset Managers.
“This collaboration underscores our commitment to delivering long-term value for our investors by leveraging our in-depth market knowledge, exclusive access to the Swiss real estate landscape, and a proven track record in managing high-quality, income-generating assets.”
