As exclusive advisor, L3M Partners supported a private client in the disposal of a residential asset located in the heart of Geneva and comprising 60 units.
As part of the sale process, L3M Partners appointed Hestera SA to prepare a sustainable value appraisal report in order to assess potential improvements to the building’s energy performance and identify possible subsidies and tax savings linked to the implementation of these energy-efficiency works.
The rent roll was also analysed in detail, and we took advantage of tenant turnover and ongoing refresh works to enhance rental income before bringing the property to market.
A two-round tender process was then launched with a panel of qualified investors. At the end of the process, the asset was acquired by an investment foundation pursuing a strategy of investing in properties with strong sustainable optimisation potential in the Canton of Geneva.
The outcome of this sale is extremely positive given current market conditions, which make transactions involving buildings requiring energy renovation more challenging. The buyer identified was able to recognise and fully value the property’s highly attractive long-term potential once the renovation works have been completed.
