a leader in real-estate crowdfunding announces the acquisition, in crowdinvestment,
of a residential building in Concise (VD) by 55 investors, of all ages
and all backgrounds. They acquired a share of the building in
co-ownership with a minimum amount of CHF 50'000.-
"Enabling more than 50 investors to become co-owners of a building in
crowdfunding is an important step for Foxstone. We are shaping a new era
in the real-estate investment in Western Switzerland, which makes this
asset class accessible to everyone.” said Dan Amar, CEO of Foxstone.
This acquisition represents a key milestone for the development of
real-estate crowdfunding in Switzerland since it is the first
transaction of this magnitude.
The total amount raised in co-ownership was CHF 3,250,000 for an
acquisition price of the building of CHF 6,800,000, the remaining
balance being financed by a mortgage. The net return on equity is 6.53%,
which represents an annual return of CHF 3,265 for a CHF 50'000
investment. The Régie du Rhône takes care of the day-to-day management
of the building.
“We had several financial investments that required a great deal of
management efforts. But in an uncertain economic environment and newly
retired, we needed serenity and stability. With a serious approach and
quality products Foxstone came at the right time and brought us the
answers we were looking for. The professionalism of the team allowed us
to create a real relationship of trust, which we needed to invest
serenely.” A co-owner, 70 years old, retired.
