The canton in brief

Real estate in the canton of Schwyz: 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.

This sector accounts for 10 % of companies classified in the canton of Schwyz, against 8 % across Switzerland. 13 companies in real estate were registered in the canton of Schwyz over the past 30 days, 28 over 90 days.

Schwyz benefits from its proximity to Zurich and from its tax regime: the districts of Höfe and March (Pfäffikon, Wollerau, Lachen) concentrate financial companies, holdings and management head offices, while the interior of the canton remains industrial and touristic. Many companies here are domiciled with a fiduciary, which matters for prospecting.
