Emanuel von Graffenried, Real Estate Strategy, project management & development (AMO, MOD), sustainable energy transition, investor consulting & advis

Summary

✔ I provide strategic real estate and project delivery advice to ensure optimal outcomes for occupants, developers and investors. As a real estate strategist, I specialize in leveraging existing real estate assets and using real estate as a sustainable force for the common good. I identify and implement business solutions to real estate problems. ✔ Switzerland's real estate stock is in need of renewal -> Let's seize the opportunity to shape the built environment of tomorrow together. Are you looking to improve the efficiency of your real estate portfolio or increase its return? Perhaps you are looking to develop a new building or reposition your strategic investments? Would you like advice on energy remediation strategies and sustainable real estate portfolios for institutions as well as ESG policy implementation in real estate? If so, I can help. As a key figure, I act as a bridge between the German and French-speaking parts of Switzerland so that you don't have to worry about local management. As a one-stop shop, I add value to your real estate assets so that you can preserve them for future generations. Our services are tailored specifically to your needs throughout the real estate value chain. Like a Swiss Army knife in real estate, I will find the right path through the technical, legal and financial jungle so that you can make the right decisions and optimize your assets. How about discussing this topic over coffee? ✔ Trained as an EPFL architect (SIA/REG A), I have developed solid skills in real estate (Brevet fédéral/MRICS): investment, development operations, real estate appraisals, expertise and consulting, asset management and steering, due dilligence, etc. Very structured and a fine negotiator, I have also accomplished myself in business management skills and in commercial development: leadership, management, governance, ratio implementation, cash management, managing and developing a B2B client portfolio, estimating resources and risks, etc. A leader at heart, I lead all my projects with passion and enthusiasm. Trilingual French-English-German, I also have a solid network of contacts throughout the French and German-speaking parts of Switzerland.
