Sustainable real estate: fit for the future
Migros Bank supports corporate clients in exploiting the potential of their real estate portfolios. Targeted optimization reduces costs and increases the market value of the property.
Residential and commercial properties need energy - and a lot of it. The Swiss building stock is responsible for 25 percent of Switzerland's final energy requirements and a third of domestic CO2 emissions. This is why real estate also plays a key role in the energy transition. However, striving for greater sustainability in the building sector not only makes sense from an ecological perspective, but also from an economic one. Investments to increase energy efficiency and switch from fossil fuels to renewable energies have a value-enhancing effect. And sustainable buildings are marketable in the long term. Migros Bank offers corporate customers a free analysis to identify the optimization potential in their real estate portfolio.
Free analysis of real estate portfolios
A sustainable property provides ecological, social and economic benefits in the long term. What this means in concrete terms for an individual residential property must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Ecological sustainability is generally about increasing the energy efficiency of the building and reducing emissions.
Together with customers, Migros Bank reviews residential properties for sustainability, yield, potential and marketability. Together with real estate experts, a tool was developed for this purpose. This shows which investments have an impact on the savings and costs resulting from these investments and what CO2 emissions can be expected from the real estate portfolio. Energy-efficient refurbishment or early replacement of heating systems often have a positive impact on profitability.
The opportunities of sustainable buildings
If the energy efficiency of buildings increases, energy costs fall. This is directly noticeable. Of course, the investments - for example in the renovation of the building - have to be amortized. However, expensive energy costs mean that the amortization period is short in many cases. Increased energy efficiency can also increase the market value of the property. The increase in attractiveness is also noticeable for rental properties. The demand for sustainable buildings with low ancillary costs is high. Tenants are prepared to pay more for sustainable living space.
What optimization potential do your properties have?
The real estate market is currently facing new challenges. However, the changing environment not only harbors risks, but also new opportunities. Migros Bank shows you how you can identify potential and optimize your own real estate portfolio.
