Novavest Real Estate AG is a Zurich-based property company that acquires, develops, and manages a diverse portfolio of real estate assets throughout Switzerland. The company's business model is centered on generating stable, recurring rental income as an owner-landlord, alongside long-term capital appreciation of its properties. Novavest's portfolio is strategically weighted toward residential properties, which account for approximately 59% of its target rental income. The remainder of the portfolio consists of commercial and office spaces, as well as specialized living spaces for the elderly, including senior residences and care facilities.
In June 2024, Novavest completed a strategic absorption merger with SenioResidenz AG, a Swiss real estate company specializing in senior living and care properties. This merger significantly enhanced Novavest's scale and regional diversification, expanding its footprint across 17 Swiss cantons and bringing the total market value of its investment properties to over CHF 1 billion. The combined portfolio comprises more than 70 investment properties, strategically located in urban centers, conurbations, and areas with strong public transport links. By maintaining a balanced mix of traditional residential apartments and specialized senior housing, Novavest is well-positioned to capitalize on demographic trends such as an aging population while maintaining a resilient stream of rental revenues.
