- Cham Swiss Properties AG Cham Swiss Properties AG, formerly Ina Invest Holding AG Ina Invest Holding AG, operates as a Swiss real estate company focused on developing sustainable spaces to live, work, and relax, with an emphasis on hybrid properties that provide long-term flexibility in use and profitability; its core activities encompass property acquisition, project development and realization, construction, leasing, management, and brokering of residential and commercial real estate. The company manages two primary segments: the Ina Portfolio, featuring promotional and investment properties across Zurich, central Switzerland, north-western Switzerland, and western Switzerland including key projects such as the Lokstadt-Hallen casino in Winterthur, Schaffhauserstrasse in Zurich, Rue du Valais in Geneva, and Rocket & Tigerli in Winterthur; and the CERES Portfolio, which includes real estate assets and services from the CERES Group at the Buss site in Pratteln. Ina Invest Holding AG originated as a 2020 spin-off from Implenia, retaining a strategic partnership for development and execution services, and maintains headquarters in Opfikon, Zurich, Switzerland, with operations concentrated in Switzerland's major metropolitan areas targeting residential (at least 50% of developments), commercial, and mixed-use markets while prioritizing sustainability evidenced by top GRESB ratings of 98/100 for development and 76/100 for existing properties in 2024.
In recent developments, Ina Invest completed an upstream merger with its subsidiary Ina Invest AG in 2024 to streamline its corporate structure and enhance efficiency without altering its business model or shareholdings, where Implenia holds approximately 40%; the company also acquired CERES Group Holding to expand its portfolio. Most significantly, in May 2025, Ina Invest executed a reverse merger with Cham Group AG valued at approximately CHF 570 million, resulting in a name change to Cham Swiss Properties AG as of May 31, 2025, and creating one of Switzerland's top 10 listed real estate firms with a combined portfolio market value exceeding CHF 1.6 billion. These strategic moves, proposed at the March 31, 2025 Annual General Meeting and accompanied by a CHF 31 million payment to Implenia to realign agreements, supported operational progress including project advancements, a portfolio valuation of CHF 862 million at end-2024, and an operating EBIT of CHF 20.4 million before one-time charges.
