The market value of Warteck Invest’s real estate portfolio increased by CHF 35.8 million to CHF 874.4 million in the course of the year under review. The increase was not achieved through acquisitions, but through investments in new construction and renovation projects and the resulting revaluations. In the past financial year, the real estate company invested a total of CHF 22.8 million in ongoing projects. A project pipeline with a total volume of over 270 million Swiss francs should generate further growth over the next five to seven years.
