Frequently asked questions

What is the impact of international organisations on demand?
Material. UN Geneva, WTO, ICRC, ITU, WIPO, and a deep treaty-body cluster anchor 30%+ of Geneva's Class A market with long-duration headquarters-agreement tenancy.
How does Geneva's rent compare to Zurich?
Geneva trophy product clears at CHF 700-900/sqm/year (Old Town and Rue du Rhône); Zurich Bahnhofstrasse is broadly comparable. Geneva's overall Class A average is slightly lower than Zurich.
Are concessions available?
Limited. Rent-free of 3-6 months on a 10-year deal is the norm — among the tightest in EMEA, reflecting persistent supply scarcity.
