Swiss real estate market developments

Overview

Real estate activity in Switzerland shows diverse developments across private and public sectors. Cham Swiss Properties reported a 5% increase in rental income to CHF 13.7 million for the first half of 2026 following a merger, though net profit dropped significantly due to lower property revaluation gains. The company is investing CHF 172 million into various projects in Zurich, Geneva, and Cham, despite facing a delay in the Pavatex area rezoning due to a voting complaint.

In the public sector, the City of Zurich has spent 1.3 billion Swiss francs to acquire 47 properties over the last four years. While the city exceeded its average target for apartment acquisitions, political groups like the Social Democratic Party have criticized the pace, advocating for higher annual acquisition rates to meet long-term non-profit housing goals. The city's Finance Department noted that densification efforts face challenges regarding ecological standards and monument protection.
