SPS buys SIX property in Zurich

Swiss Prime Site is acquiring an office property on Pfingstweidstrasse in Zurich-West, which has a rental area of around 19,000 square meters and is used by the Swiss stock exchange operator SIX Group Services AG. The Zurich stock exchange SIX moved into the newly constructed commercial property in 2016 and occupies the entire space as a single tenant. «The modern building has a high standard of fit-out and can be used flexibly,» writes SPS in a press release. «Due to the recent year of construction, the sustainable construction method and a district heating connection, a Breeam sustainability rating of »very good« is expected,» it continues. The property was acquired in "exclusive negotiations with the private owner". SPS states the net yield as 3.8% and the transaction was completed on December 1.

With this purchase, the CHF 300 million that SPS raised in a capital increase last February has been fully invested. The purchase of an office property on Place des Alpes in Geneva and in Lausanne was already announced in April and August 2025 respectively. «All transactions were carried out with a return significantly above the portfolio return,» the company emphasizes. It is expected that these acquisitions will lead to an increase in annual rental income of around CHF 17 million. The strengthening of the capital base will also allow a «slight reduction in the planned property sales as part of the ongoing capital recycling», SPS also reports. Accordingly, rental income from the capital increase can be expected to increase directly and indirectly by almost CHF 20 million from 2026.
