Start with the problem to be solved
The discussion begins with the housing need: which households are struggling, what unit types are missing, what rent level is sustainable and where should housing be located? Land and project structure follow from those questions.
Use the right instruments
Depending on the canton, municipality and project, the solution may involve public land, long-term building rights, planning measures, financial support, guarantees, infrastructure or collaboration with a public-interest housing provider.
Public land
Land can support housing policy while remaining in public ownership.
Long-term building rights
A project can receive long-term control of land without requiring a permanent sale.
Public-interest mission
An appropriate structure can be used where it fits the objectives and available instruments.
Private capital and delivery
Public resources can be complemented by equity, bank financing and professional delivery capability.
Our commitment
Measurable public value in return for public advantages.
Controlled rents
Economic conditions are translated into understandable rental objectives.
Durable quality
Cost efficiency remains consistent with liveability and maintenance.
Clear accountability
Roles, obligations and timetable are defined during project structuring.
