This summer, which marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission and the first man on the moon, we’d like to take a moment to celebrate ten years of a project that, although somewhat less ambitious, is equally as visionary and successful.
In June 2009, after years of work and preparation, we finally launched the Residentia Fund, the first and only real estate fund in the Italian-speaking area of Switzerland.
Following on from the financially turbulent, uncertain and troubled period of the 2008 financial crisis, we developed what is still the only dependable and nationally recognised financial tool for investing in Ticino’s real estate sector.
A vehicle that has always had strong ties to the local area, building firm foundations for long-lasting, prosperous development, which still looks to the future and the new challenges it holds for us.
Over the last ten years, Residentia has demonstrated great ability and forward-thinking in its actions, with both these qualities enabling it to grow on a constant and consistent basis. From an initial figure of 40 million CHF, the fund has pursued a course of expert and steady growth, so that it now manages a real estate portfolio worth more than 240 million CHF subdivided into twenty-two properties. However, this growth has taken place without overlooking fundamental principles such as the soundness of the selected properties, the high revenue generated by purchases, ongoing maintenance and investments in its assets, and care and respect for its tenants.
Thanks to our proven solidity and our partners who have always assisted and backed us, Residentia and its team are ready to take on the new decade that awaits us, confident that we will never be lacking in the commitment, enthusiasm and expertise that have enabled us to reach this goal: “one small step for mankind, one giant leap for Residentia!”
We’d like to thank you all for the belief you have always shown in us.
