bonainvest Holding

bonainvest Holding AG is a real estate investment company which develops and builds residential properties. Its unique selling point is the concept of networked living with sustainable architecture, impressive construction features and individual home services provided by the subsidiary company bonacasa AG. bonainvest Holding has built more than 1,000 homes in Switzerland on the bonacasa concept; they all give their residents unique added value.

In view of the special situation with regard to the coronavirus (COVID-19), bonainvest Holding and its subsidiaries have taken important precautions to protect the health of our employees, customers, suppliers and all fellow human beings.

The action plan we have drawn up concerns, on the one hand, the maintenance of operational activities in compliance with the highest possible hygiene standards and, on the other hand, it allows the majority of employees to work in their home offices. We have decided to operate our personnel office presence in a reduced mode.

bonainvest AG is available by telephone, e-mail or conferencing tools during normal office hours and is happy to organize virtual meetings for exchange. We thank you for your understanding that bonainvest AG will refrain from holding meetings and encounters with a view to your and our health until 19 April 2020. We are continuing to push ahead with our projects in planning and development at full speed. The construction work of our projects is progressing without restrictions.

Our subsidiary bonacasa AG will continue to be available to its customers with its service centre and the wide range of living services. We have expanded our range of services that can provide support in the current situation: for example, we are offering our customers online access to food ordering. Our delivery and cleaning services are also currently in great demand. The highest hygiene regulations apply to all bonacasa AG employees, especially our concierges and cleaning staff, and we implement the measures of the Federal Office of Public Health in our customer contact.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your understanding and the trust you have placed in us and wish you, your families and your employees good health.

With a combination of properties fit for the future and customer-focussed Living Services, bonainvest Holding pursues a clearly defined and lucrative strategy that is constantly gaining ground against the background of prevailing megatrends. As a leading proponent of change on the property market taking account of new needs, bonainvest has achieved a unique position which puts it in a favourable light on an increasingly saturated market and brings added value for customers and investors alike.

With its subsidiaries bonainvest AG and bonacasa AG, bonainvest Holding combines expertise and know-how in real estate and smart living. The Group's business segments are:

• Development and construction of real estate according to own standards
• Expansion and management of a future-oriented real estate portfolio
• Service organisation with a wide range of Living Service offers for more safety and comfort  
• Development of smart living solutions for the company's own real estate and for business customers

bonainvest Holding AG continued its growth in 2018. The real estate portfolio (+ 25.3%), rental income (+ 14.8%) and total assets (+ 3.5%) increased again. Seven projects with over 450 apartments are currently under development and construction. With its scalable smart living concept, the subsidiary bonacasa AG has acquired many more apartments from business customers (+ 14.5%). Although the investments in own real estate projects associated with the portfolio expansion accounted for more than 50% of equity, bonainvest Holding achieved a net profit of CHF 4.14 million in 2018. The Annual General Meeting decided to pay a dividend of CHF 1.40 per registered share from capital reserves.

bonacasa AG, the leading subsidiary of bonainvest Holding for Smart Living, was awarded as one of the ten most innovative real estate companies in Switzerland. The "Top 10" award in Switzerland goes to bonacasa for the ongoing further development of its holistic approach to modern and safe living, as well as for its customer-oriented living services and networking in buildings. Interested parties can experience all this at the Smart Living Loft in Oensingen.  

bonainvest Holding develops and builds all the properties itself. bonacasa gives the portfolio distinct advantages on the construction and services sides. bonainvest Holding properties are among the most sustainable in Switzerland: contemporary architecture, obstacle-free construction, intelligent floor plans and networked technologies, together with unique Living Services provided by bonacasa, are unique selling points against the background of increasingly challenging competition.

bonacasa is bonainvest Holding’s unique selling point. The subsidiary company provides a comprehensive range of Living Services to make living more comfortable and more secure. Tenants and home owners can decide for themselves which optional services they wish to use at fair prices. The offer is as diverse as the occupants of our homes.

Based on the latest plans, the bonainvest Holding portfolio will be worth more than CHF 500 million by the year 2024. The construction and development volume represents more than 500 homes. We also anticipate further sustained growth of bonacasa’s corporate client activity.
