Prime locations, sound financing and trend-setting ideas.
HAUSBAU SCHWEIZ AG is a holding company that specialises in the development of first-class real estate projects. It is located in Schindellegi, Schwyz, in the upper region of Lake Zurich, a district that has enjoyed one of the lowest tax rates in Switzerland for years.
We apply the most stringent of criteria in the case of pre-selecting our properties and drawing up our concepts. We only give consideration to projects that are characterised by an excellent location and those that allow for implementation in the finest quality. In the case of locations we concentrate on Swiss cantons with favourable tax rates and attractive regions in southern Europe, which in addition to their location are characterised by exclusive leisure facilities – normally golf courses. The founders’ wealth of experience, excellent contacts and existing option contracts with landowners in Switzerland and land developers on the Spanish mainland, the Balearic Islands and Portugal, form the basis of attractive construction projects and resort developments.
Our project financing is deliberately characterised by conservative calculations. The basis is provided by an own share in HAUSBAU SCHWEIZ AG, which is supplemented by way of investors’ direct financial commitments. In addition to wealthy private investors this includes, specialist partners, to whom we give preference, from the construction, marketing or finance industries that acquire interests in the respective projects. The share of outside capital that is provided by local banks is conditional on the capital market conditions, investors’ yield expectations, local special features and tax rates. The “Swiss Model”, which we designed and have successfully implemented over the years, offers investors a whole raft of financial benefits. In this business construction the Swiss joint-stock company administers its joint-stock company, established on site for the project development, by way of a trust regulation via stated special assets. The trust capital and the appertaining yields are not taxed. The capital and yields can, therefore, be disbursed to the investment partner (investor) in Switzerland tax free.
Real estate projects that are properly developed, financed and managed are still the most secure and safest form of investment. And they offer more than that: for those who benefit from them they constitute the primary living area as well as future perspectives. Our success as a real estate developer is also attributable to the fact that we endeavour to realise trend-setting ideas for first-class real estate projects. The Freihofmatte serviced living complex is an example of such a creative approach. In the complex residents can – whenever they wish – make use of services and spa programmes that would otherwise only be available in first-class hotels.Prime locations, sound financing and trend-setting ideas for discerning living. HAUSBAU SCHWEIZ AG’s success is based on a company philosophy that takes into account all the key factors of contemporary real estate development and brings these together in a coherent manner.
