Saraiva Immo

Acquisition, development and value enhancement of real estate assets. Residential, commercial, mixed-use: Switzerland and selected European markets.

Our philosophy

Real estate as a source of lasting value

We do not buy square metres. We identify undervalued assets with concrete, measurable potential for transformation, stabilisation or optimisation.

01

Targeted acquisition

Residential, commercial or mixed-use assets selected for their potential for value enhancement. Location, condition, legal structure: everything is analysed before any offer is made.

02

Development & renovation

Turning underperforming assets into higher-value properties. Project management of works, coordination of contractors, delivery on time and on budget.

03

Value enhancement & exit

Optimisation of rental yield or sale at maximum value. Every exit is planned from acquisition, according to a defined horizon.

Investment criteria

What we look for

Asset profile

Assets with a clear entry angle

We look for situations where our capital and expertise make a measurable difference: acquisition below market value, renovation potential, change of use or improved management.

  • Residential: apartments, income-producing buildings
  • Commercial: offices, service premises
  • Mixed-use: ground-floor retail + housing
  • Development projects and major renovations
Geography

Switzerland first, Europe selectively

Our core market is Switzerland, where our knowledge of the legal, tax and banking framework is a genuine competitive advantage. We operate selectively elsewhere in Europe on specific opportunities.

  • French- and German-speaking Switzerland
  • French markets (Geneva cross-border area, Paris selectively)
  • Portugal (high-potential residential market)
  • Other European markets on a case-by-case basis
