Allreal endeavours to achieve a return comparable to a direct investment in property for its shareholders, thus allowing them to participate in the company’s economic success. Up to 100% of the Real Estate division’s operating net profit is distributed to shareholders. For the 2020 financial year, the Board of Directors will propose a distribution of CHF 6.75 per share, corresponding to a distribution yield of 3.3%.

Since its flotation in 2000, Allreal has distributed a total of CHF 1.40 billion to shareholders.

Thanks to the careful handling of risk, sound financing and high earnings power, Allreal provides good conditions for sustainable, continuous growth in shareholder value.

Active management and continuous expansion of the portfolio guarantee stable value creation for the company in the long term. Allreal has its own in-house property management team, which manages just under 70% of properties in terms of market value. In-house specialists in building management and building services provide advice on new builds right from the planning phase and also ensure an economic course of action in the operation of yield-producing properties.

With full and partial renovation work being performed on a regular basis, the economic age of a third of the portfolio is under ten years and around two thirds of the portfolio have been modernised within the past 20 years.

With residential and commercial properties with a market value of around CHF 4.53 billion,  Allreal has the third-largest property portfolio of all property companies listed on the Swiss Exchange.

Allreal operates exclusively in Switzerland. Its investment properties are located predominantly in the economic centres of Zurich, Bern and Basel, and along the Lake Geneva area. The Projects & Development division, which has offices on Glattpark and in Bern, provides its services to large parts of German-speaking Switzerland.

The Projects & Development division develops, plans and realises new builds, refurbishments and renovations of all sizes and levels of complexity from a single source for private and institutional investors and developers, as well as for its own portfolio: from acquisition and use and cost analyses to the finished building with value creation that is sustainable in the long term.

Allreal is relying more and more on digital processes within its workflows. In 2020, the company started using BIM to plan and realise all of its own projects and selected projects for third parties.

Other services include the initial letting of rental premises and the sale of residential property developed and realised in-house by Allreal, as well as providing advice to private individuals, companies and institutional investors in real estate transactions.
