Excellence in Swiss
Value-Add Real Estate

About Us

Stone Estate is a private commercial real estate company focused on value-add and opportunistic investments in Switzerland. The Company was founded in 2017, and its management arm is headquartered in Zurich.

Building from our seed portfolio, we aim to become one of the largest focused commercial value-add investors in Swiss real estate. We believe this particular segment is under-served and our investment approach combines long-standing local market expertise with blue-chip real estate private equity experience and international capital markets know-how.

Stone Estate is part of Reech Corporations Group, a group of companies active in – and at the intersection of – real estate, technology and finance.

Investment Philosophy

Stone Estate specializes in all types of value-add real estate investments:

• “Buy & fix” asset-level value creation (e.g. capital spending, repositioning & lease-up)

• “Buy & build” investing through specialized partners (e.g. local developers, niche operators, asset managers)

• “Buy & manage” structured (financial) investments with property collateral (e.g. leasing receivables)

We focus on short- to mid-term value creation not based on market movement but through pro-active management and additional capital.

We analyze the potential for mid- to long-term growth of rental income (overall and per square meter) as well as capital values (through income growth and yield compression based on the underlying improvements).

We are a team of entrepreneurs with institutional upbringing. Integrity, discipline and ownership are at the heart of what we do.

Values

• Integrity
• Alignment
• Accountability
• Quality

• Discipline
• Ownership
• Sustainability
