Record year and repositioning for SwissLending

SwissLending has just raised the equivalent of over CHF 60'000'000 for real estate investments in 2021 (and over CHF 200'000'000 since its launch in 2016), a record year. At the crossroads of real estate and finance, SwissLending has diversified its offerings and is now present across the entire real estate value chain: land banking, financing of de-risked projects (historical activity), and co-development with its partners.

SwissLending's clients are mainly family offices, pension funds and small private banks. The sustained exchanges between the actors have sometimes allowed SwissLending's clients to find the professionals to allow them to make the necessary arbitrages on their real estate assets. Moreover, these institutions are increasingly coming upstream of the real estate value chain and are very open to land banking and "Build to Rent" operations in order to have access to new investment opportunities in a market where the offer remains very limited. The latest Geneva transactions in December 2021, with rates close to 2% in residential and to 4% in logistics, reflect the rise in bidding on the limited supply of properties.

The entire entire real estate value chain in sight

Since its creation, SwissLending has financed dozens of real estate projects in continental Europe (Switzerland, France and Luxembourg) and has raised, to date, CHF 204'500'000.- from qualified investors. In 2021, the first land banking and co-investment operations took place. The expected annual return for investors varies between 6% and 15+% depending on the projects presented. Numerous projects are expected in the coming months on the platform.

"This method of financing is increasingly popular with investors looking for transparency and yield in the current low interest rate environment. SwissLending's reputation is steadily increasing among professionals and the repositioning to take advantage of the entire real estate value chain is a new step forward," says Dominique Goy, president and co-founder of SwissLending.
