Investis has developed its Properties business line over 25 years. It generated revenues of CHF 57.9 million and an operating profit (EBIT) of CHF 130.6 million in 2020.

Investment PROPERTIES – mainly RESIDENTIAL

Based on market value and main use, 95% of the properties are used for residential and 5% for commercial purposes. The sale of three commercial properties in 2020 increased the ratio of the residential portion in the portfolio and thus further decreased our risk of vacancies.
