By combining financial returns with social and environmental responsibility, we are responding to the growing demand for socially conscious and environmentally sustainable investment strategies.
Below are the six key steps we follow when embarking on a property development project:
- Market Research and Feasibility Study
First, we conduct thorough market research to understand demand and trends in the property market. We identify potential locations for your project and assess the feasibility of your ideas. A feasibility study identifies and analyses factors such as market demand, competition, economic indicators, regulatory requirements and potential risks.
- Concept and Design
We develop a clear concept and vision for your project. This includes deciding on the type of property you want to develop (residential, commercial, mixed use, etc.), its size, layout and overall design. We work with our specialist partners such as architects, town planners and designers to produce plans that meet your vision and the demands of the market.
- Financing and Budgeting
We work with you to develop the necessary budget for your project, taking into account all costs such as land acquisition, construction, permits, marketing and contingencies. We will guide you in securing funding through a combination of equity, debt and potential investors. A sound financial plan is essential to ensure the sustainability of the project and avoid cost overruns.
- Obtaining Approvals and Permits
Obtain the necessary approvals and permits from local authorities to navigate the regulatory environment. This includes building permits, environmental permits, construction permits and any other regulatory requirements that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. This avoids delays and financial penalties and disadvantages.
- Construction and Project Management
We guide you through the construction phase with our partner contractors and project managers. We regularly monitor construction progress, manage the schedule and ensure the project meets approved design and quality standards. Effective project management helps avoid delays, cost escalation and poor workmanship.
- Marketing and Sales
Working with your objectives, we develop a comprehensive marketing strategy to attract potential buyers or tenants. This includes creating promotional materials, setting pricing strategies and showcasing the unique features and benefits of your project. We network with estate agents and marketing professionals to expedite the sales and leasing process.
Remember that every property development project is unique and these steps will need to be adapted depending on the specifics of your project and target market. It is important to work with experienced professionals such as architects, engineers, legal advisors and financial experts to ensure the success of your property project. With Swiss Invest Network, our in-house experienced specialists and our international partners, we offer holistic solutions.
