By 2018, the Company had grown to become the largest stock exchange-listed real estate firm in Switzerland, with a property portfolio currently valued at CHF 11.2 billion. By means of acquisitions, property developments and conversions as well as sharp focus on prime locations, Swiss Prime Site has continuously built up its portfolio. The acquisition of Maag Holding with the Maag site in Zurich-West in 2004 count among the most significant takeovers. Prime Tower and the surrounding annex buildings were subsequently developed at the site. The acquisition of the Jelmoli portfolio of properties in 2009 doubled the value of the Company’s real estate holdings. Since that time, Swiss Prime Site has carried out key strategic acquisitions with Wincasa (2012) and Tertianum (2013). In addition, Swiss Prime Site has generated additional growth and created Fair value premium properties by means of significant in-house developments – such property portfolio in CHF billion as SkyKey Zurich (2014) and Espace Post Berne (2015) – or conversions of former office floor space (for example, Motel One Basel and Zurich). 11.2 10.1 10.6 9.8 9.7 9.3 8.6 8.1 8.0 8.2 3.7 3.8 3.3 3.3 3.5 2.0 2.2 1.7 0.8 0.5 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2 011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Swisscom Arthur Frey Maag Jelmoli Wincasa Tertianum SENIOcare BOAS Senior Care Cityport Messeturm OPUS Sihlcity¹ PostFinance Prime Tower SkyKey EspacePost Gotthard Motel One Beethoven- Zurich Basel Zug Zurich Arena Zurich Zurich Berne Building Zurich strasse Berne Lucerne Zurich ¹ sold as at 1 October 2018 7 Strategy and Management Report Our markets Our markets Swiss Prime Site Group operates in the Swiss real estate market with its core business.

  • Climate Change and Tourism in Switzerland : a Survey on Impacts, Vulnerability and Possible Adaptation Measures
    Climate Change and Tourism in Switzerland : a Survey on Impacts, Vulnerability and Possible Adaptation Measures Cecilia Matasci, Juan‐Carlos Altamirano‐Cabrera 1 Research group on the Economics and Management of the Environment ­ Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, CH­1015 Lausanne, Switzerland, [email protected] The tourism industry is particularly affected by climate change, being very climate‐ and weather‐ dependent. Moreover, particularly in the Alpine region, it is specially exposed to natural hazards. Nonetheless, this industry is an important pillar of the Swiss economy, providing employment and generating income. Then, it becomes essential to reduce its vulnerability and starting implementing adaptation measures. In order to do so, it is important to define which areas face which problems and to recognize vulnerability hot spots. This motivation comes from the prospect that the largest environmental, social and economic damages are likely to be concentrated in vulnerable areas. This article presents an overview of the current state of the knowledge on the impacts, the vulnerability and the possible adaptation measures of the tourism industry in relation to climate change. Moreover, it presents different methods that could help assessing this vulnerability, referring in particular to the Swiss situation. This is the first step toward the establishment of the vulnerability analysis and the consequent examination of possible adaptation measures. Keywords: climate change, adaptation, vulnerability, tourism, Switzerland Introduction Climate change is a global phenomenon, but its effects occur on a local scale. Moreover, these effects have a clear impact on economic activities. An example of an activity heavily affected is tourism. Tourism is closely interlinked with climate change both as culprit and as victim.

  • Successful Sunrise Skylights Zürisee Sessions
    Press Release Zurich/Opfikon, 30 August 2021 A festival concept with a future: Successful Sunrise Skylights Zürisee Sessions Yesterday, Sunday, August 29, a 77 Bombay Street concert in Lachen marked the end of the festivities of the Sunrise Skylights Zürisee Sessions. In a summer where the weather left much to be desired, around 500 visitors were all the more excited about open air concerts being made possible thanks to a new concert series on Lake Zurich. The concept involving national artists and local newcomers was very well received. Last year, Sunrise demonstrated a passion for festival fans and musicians with the first drive-in, open-air concert in Switzerland. To prevent the festival summer of 2021 from being a complete washout, the organizers of the Sunrise Skylights Zürisee Sessions simply moved it onto the water from August 19–29. 7 lake municipalities, 8 concerts and 16 live acts In total, eight well-known Swiss artists took part in the innovative festival concept and performed on a floating stage for the first time. To express their commitment to the region, Sunrise UPC and the organizers came up with something special: The national artists were supported by local newcomers from the seven lake municipalities. «Our floating boat not only established a connection between the municipalities, but also built bridges between established musicians and emerging young artists,» says André Krause, CEO of Sunrise UPC. «Of course, we’re really pleased that several of the concerts were completely sold out and that the festival series with the silent concerts was so well received by the audience.» Potential for more lake sessions The approximately 500 vaccinated, recovered or tested visitors, who listened to the closing concert by 77 Bombay Street through their headphones despite cool temperatures on the lakeside in Lachen yesterday, were a testament to the success of the first Sunrise Skylights Zürisee Sessions.

As a result, authorities around the globe have expressed their needs for better tools to monitor the spread of the virus and to support human labor. Researchers and technology companies such as Google and Apple have offered to develop such tools in the form of contact tracing applications running on smartphones. The goal of these applications is to continuously track people's proximity and to make the smartphone users aware if they have ever been in contact with positively diagnosed people, so that they could self-quarantine and possibly have an infection test.

  • WELCOME to the SWISS ALPS
    ENGLISH בס"ד SWISSָ ALPS ===ש ֹׁום ֲ the ֵע ליכֶ to ם===WELCOME Insights into Swiss Customs 2 Welcometo to Switzerland Welcome Switzerland Switzerland is home to some most beautiful places, and especially the Swiss Alps are a popular destination for numerous Jewish travelers – you can discover many touristic attractions. There is a Jewish headcount of around 18,000 (around 0.2% of the total population) with a thriving Jewish religious life at different synagogues in several cities. This guide is intended to provide you with an overview not only on kosher food and synagogues, but also other important things which can be helpful during your visit. This guide is not a halachic guidebook. It may also be helpful to prevent frictions between Jewish tourists and the locals. Such frictions unfortunately have led to some very unpleasant reports about Jewish tourists in Switzerland. This is why we want to emphasize how essential it is to become familiar with Swiss culture and local codes of behavior when you prepare visiting Switzerland. We all represent the Jewish people, and this is a responsibility which we must take seriously. Thus we hope that this guide will help to clarify some of this kind of issues, and help everyone to have an even better vacation experience in Switzerland. We wish you a very pleasant stay! 3 As products sold in regularKosher supermarkets do Food not have hechsherim, please refer to the kosher list which specifies all available kosher products in Switzerland. There are two main supermarket chains – Migros and Coop –, and at least one of them is present in almost every village.
