Where Life Flourishes: How the SF Sustainable Property Fund is Driving Sustainable Development from Arnegg to Ronchetto

Life has returned to Arnegg with the new village square – the apartments are almost fully let, and tenants are equally impressed by the concept. Renovation is also progressing rapidly in the Ronchetto district: the first flats are ready for occupancy and demand is high.

Arnegg – Life on the New Village Square

A new piece of village life has emerged in Arnegg: the modern development on Stationsstrasse is almost fully let. The concept is convincing because it combines residential, shopping and socialising.

Life has returned to Arnegg. The development on Stationsstrasse, which was occupied in stages in the spring, is almost fully let: 67 of the 69 apartments are already occupied, and the last units are expected to be let by February. The high demand confirms the well-thought-out concept, which ideally combines modern residential, working and shopping.

With the opening of Migros in the basement of the new building at the beginning of the year, the new village square has become a lively meeting place in the heart of Arnegg. Here, style, comfort and community combine to create a special living experience. The contemporary architecture blends harmoniously into the village landscape and impresses with its clean lines, high-quality materials to owner-occupier standards, spacious floor plans and bright rooms.

In addition to the apartments, the development also offers attractive commercial space on the ground floor, for which initial discussions with interested tenants are already underway.

The new village square in Arnegg is a place that not only impresses architecturally, but also creates economically sustainable value . It is an example of how well-thought-out property development can combine quality of life and returns.

SFP Group Successfully Drives Forward Renewal in the Ronchetto District

In the Ronchetto district, the first renovated apartments and commercial spaces are already ready for occupancy, and leasing is progressing successfully. Thanks to clever phasing, high tenant retention and sustainable planning, the neighbourhood remains vibrant during the construction period.

Progress is rapid in the Ronchetto district: the construction programme has been optimised to enable the renovated apartments to be let earlier. A first milestone was recently reached: on 20 October 2025, the communal areas, 13 apartments and a commercial space at Via Ronchetto 20a were approved for occupancy. The acceptance of the remaining 11 flats at Via Torricelli 25 is scheduled for 17 November 2025. This staggered handover means that newly renovated areas can be occupied more quickly.

Rental Situation

Letting is proving extremely successful. Almost all of the units already offered in Block B have been let. Only three flats are currently still available, new viewing appointments with interested parties have already been scheduled, and demand is high.

Of the 166 flats in the neighbourhood, 54 have already been let and a further 11 have been reserved. Feedback from tenants and prospective tenants has been consistently positive. Particularly noteworthy is that several existing tenants are moving into temporary accommodation in the neighbourhood organised by SFP Group during the construction period and will return to their newly renovated flats once the work is complete. This commitment not only demonstrates the tenants' strong attachment to the Ronchetto neighbourhood, but also how SFP Group actively contributes to high tenant satisfaction through forward-looking planning, personal support and flexible solutions.

Updated Construction Programme

The renovation of the neighbourhood is being carried out block by block in six buildings. For spatial orientation: the blocks are spread over the area between Via Ronchetto and Via Torricelli. A clear site plan with blocks A-F marked helps interested parties to understand the position of the buildings. According to the updated construction programme, each block has a planned completion date and an ambitious target date to further accelerate construction progress.

Thanks to this phased approach, completed blocks can be occupied immediately while work continues in the next sections. This means shorter renovation vacancies , earlier rental income and a continuous revitalisation of the neighbourhood. For tenants, the phased renovation also means greater convenience and predictability, as many can move to nearby flats during the construction period and later return to their new, modernised flats. This benefits owners, tenants and the neighbourhood as a whole.

If everything goes according to plan, the complete renovation of the neighbourhood will be finished by end of 2028.

Market for Rental Apartments: Clarity about Accessory Charges

Since the sharp change in direction by the Swiss National Bank (SNB) in June 2022, the market for rental apartments has seen dramatic developments. The SNB increased the benchmark interest rate for the first time in 15 years in an effort to curb rising inflation and general price pressure. Since 2023 landlords have therefore been increasing rents for tenants in line with the moves in the reference interest rate.
