Wincasa strengthens market position through new mandates and long-term partnerships
In recent months, Wincasa has taken on significant mandates across all regions of Switzerland, including the center management of Centro Serfontana in Ticino and the property management of the growing real estate portfolio of Albin Kistler. In addition, key management mandates representing around CHF 15 billion in assets under management have been renewed. These developments underline Wincasa’s strong market position across asset classes and regions and demonstrate the added value of a service offering consistently aligned with the needs of owners and users.
Centro Serfontana: Wincasa strengthens presence in Ticino
With the acquisition of the mandate for the Serfontana shopping centre in Morbio, Wincasa further expands its engagement in Ticino. The Center & Mixed-Use Site Management team provides full-scope services for Centro Serfontana, which is owned by a co-ownership structure consisting primarily of ten institutional investors. Featuring around 50 retail and food & beverage outlets across more than 25,000 m² of sales area, Centro Serfontana is a well-established shopping destination. As part of a comprehensive revitalisation programme, it will be transformed into Switzerland’s first “zero-emission” shopping centre by 2027.
Albin Kistler: management of growing fund portfolios
Wincasa has assumed a full mandate for the property management of Albin Kistler’s Swiss real estate portfolio, with a market value of approximately CHF 200 million. The two funds “AKISV” — designed for tax-exempt pension institutions and currently comprising eleven residential properties and one mixed-use asset — and “AKISP” — launched successfully in Q4 2025 with seven residential properties for Swiss-domiciled clients of Albin Kistler — are managed by Wincasa within its Property Management services. While Wincasa has supported the “AKISP” fund since launch and assumed property management responsibilities as of 1 November 2025, the mandate for “AKISV” became effective on 1 January 2026. With both funds, Albin Kistler pursues a long-term sustainable growth strategy and continuously develops the portfolios.
Further successes and outlook
Beyond these major mandates, Wincasa has secured additional assignments in recent months across residential, retail and mixed-use segments. These include the real estate portfolio of the Swiss Federal Pension Fund PUBLICA with an investment value of approximately CHF 4 billion (effective 1 January 2027), the property management mandate for the Akara Swiss Diversity Property Fund PK (ADPK), valued at CHF 3 billion and covering all language regions and asset classes (effective 1 January 2026), as well as the mixed-use site management of a modern high-rise development near Lausanne. Furthermore, several important management mandates representing approximately CHF 15 billion in assets under management have been renewed.
“The new mandates and contract extensions with key clients demonstrate that our integrated service model delivers results across all regions of Switzerland,” says Andy Kürsteiner, Head of Business Development at Wincasa. “By consistently aligning our services with the needs of owners and users, we create added value and long-term partnerships.”
