SPECIAL FEATURES


This listed building complex at Speichergasse 11 / Aarbergergasse 12 is far more than a classic investment property.
It represents continuous value retention in one of Europe's most historically significant city centers – and the rare opportunity to become part of this cultural heritage.

The property combines historical substance with a proven rental structure:
All 14 apartments and 2 commercial spaces are occupied long-term, and demand remains consistently high. The roof renovation in 2019 and regular maintenance ensure the building's structural standard and significantly reduce investment risk.

As part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this property offers a combination that is rarely found on the market anymore – emotion, prime location, and return on investment all in one. For investors who value preservation, history, and continuity, this property is not just a transaction, but an investment for generations to come.
