Two Swiss property giants about to merge
A merger that could revolutionise the Swiss property market: Cham Group and Ina Invest are currently looking into merging to form one of the country's leading property companies. The decision on the merger could be made in 2025 and would have far-reaching effects on the property sector.
Cham Group and Ina Invest, a property company listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, have signed a letter of intent for a merger. This is to be completed as a “merger of equals” by 2025. The merger would create a new, strong force in the property sector that would be one of the industry leaders.
A first-class portfolio in key locations
The combined portfolio of the two companies comprises high-quality properties and development projects in Switzerland’s strongest economic regions, including Basel, Cham, Geneva, Lausanne, Winterthur and Zurich. Particularly impressive: the residential share will be over 50% after completion, which emphasises the focus on sustainable and future-oriented living in urban conurbations.
Sustainability and synergies as success factors
Both companies attach great importance to sustainability and plan to consistently implement these standards in the development and management of the properties. The merger not only brings a larger portfolio, but also clear advantages: economies of scale, greater flexibility in project realisation and improved financing options.
The talks are currently still at an early stage. If the negotiations are successful, a vote on the merger will be held at the general meetings of the two companies in spring 2025. A merger would realign the forces in the Swiss property market and create opportunities for a sustainable future.
