Swiss Life Asset Managers partners with Club Estate to launch a prime commercial real estate strategy targeting Switzerland’s most sought-after cities. The partnership launches with a first close of CHF 220 million, with a total investment pipeline of up to CHF 1 billion.
The investment strategy focuses on income-generating, high-quality commercial assets located in Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne, and Basel – cities characterised by persistent supply constraints in the prime segment. The partnership aims to capitalise on the structural imbalance between supply and demand for prime commercial space in Switzerland’s top-tier cities – offering eligible investors exposure to Swiss Francs, long-term pricing power, stable yields, and capital appreciation.
The alliance between Club Estate and Swiss Life Asset Managers will provide eligible investors with exclusive access to institutional-grade real estate opportunities. It establishes a powerful new platform for long-term value creation in one of Europe’s most stable real estate markets.
Club Estate is a leading club deal platform serving family offices and private investors with access to carefully curated private markets investment opportunities across Europe and beyond. The firm specialises in off-market transactions and co-investment structures, focusing on stable income and long-term capital preservation.
“This collaboration with Swiss Life Asset Managers marks a major milestone for Club Estate and is a strong endorsement of our platform and strategy,”
comments Dr. Marcus Sasse, CEO and Managing Partner at Club Estate.
“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, adds:
“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.”
