Suburban Areas: Where Switzerland Is Growing

Helvetica Swiss
Living Fund

The Suburban Housing Fund.

Actively managed. Targeted development.

The Helvetica Swiss Living Fund (HSL Fund) invests in residential properties throughout Switzerland in suburban, high-growth locations with good access to economic hubs. The focus is on established housing markets with positive population growth and sustainable rental demand.

Suburban housing markets combine structural demand with attractive return and development prospects: Internal migration from cities, low construction activity, and greater planning flexibility create a long-term attractive environment for the targeted redevelopment of the portfolio.

Active asset management, targeted renovation projects, and a long-term financing structure form the basis for strong returns, low vacancy rates, and the targeted appreciation of the portfolio’s value.

The long-term investment horizon combines the preservation of property value with the consistent development of the portfolio. All properties are GEAK-certified.

The fund shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and can be traded in accordance with the SIX Swiss Exchange’s standards for collective investment schemes.

Location profile: Suburban growth areas

Independent housing markets with prospects

For us, suburban locations are neither the major centres nor merely their immediate conurbations. We are referring to independent housing markets outside the centres that are functionally closely linked to them.

These locations combine good accessibility with a high quality of housing and living, stable or growing demand, and a price level that is more affordable than in the cities.

Well connected

Reliable connections to regional and national business centres via public and private transport make daily commuting possible.

Demographically dynamic

Population growth, immigration and internal migration from more expensive urban centres are driving broad and long-term demand for housing.

A great place to live and affordable

Local shopping facilities, schools and services create a self-contained residential environment offering a high quality of life for commuters, couples and families.

Independent housing markets

Suburban locations are not transitional spaces between the city and the countryside, but rather functioning local markets with their own demand and price trends.

Moderate entry prices, a broad demand base, and less regulatory pressure create an attractive risk-return profile. As a result, suburban residential real estate complements urban-focused investment strategies and reduces dependence on individual markets.

Greater Flexibility in Development and Implementation

Compared to heavily regulated urban centers, suburban communities often offer greater flexibility in planning and regulation. This makes it easier, in particular, to implement renovation, densification, and redevelopment projects. As a result, existing properties can be modernized, upgraded, and further developed in a targeted manner over the long term.

Investment approach

Active Asset Management

Active property management enhances the quality of letting, reduces vacancies and supports ongoing income. The integrated value chain ranges from acquisition through asset management to property management.

Targeted value enhancement

Attractive refurbishment projects unlock the potential of existing properties, improve the quality of living and enhance the long-term value of the portfolio.
