The canton in brief

Real estate in the canton of Lucerne: what the register shows.

Real estate brings together property managers, brokers, developers and property-holding companies. Every development or acquisition goes through a company, often set up for the occasion: new registrations and transfers of assets are the best indicator of projects under way in a canton.

Lucerne is the centre of central Switzerland: tourism and hospitality around the lake, wholesale trade and logistics at the crossing point of the north-south routes, mechanical engineering in the valleys, and a tax regime that has attracted many head offices and consultancies over the past twenty years.
