Long considered simply as places of exchange, heritage real estate assets are now recognized as true strategic assets, bearers of history and potential. This dynamic is perfectly illustrated by the recent sale of the historic Lombard Odier & Cie SA headquarters, orchestrated by Pilet & Renaud Transactions.
Listed as a heritage site, entirely intended for commercial use, and sold vacant, this atypical asset represented a major challenge: preserving its heritage architecture while meeting the expectations of future users. “Our approach was to expand the realm of possibilities by leveraging not only our own network in Switzerland and internationally, but also that of our peers. This openness enabled us to receive offers from institutional investors, foreign investors, family offices, and end-users, all attracted by the potential of this property,” explains Pierre Hagmann, Managing Director of Pilet & Renaud Transactions.
Confidentiality was maintained throughout the project. Thanks to an invitation-only tender process and strict deadline management, the transaction was completed in record time. “This assignment went beyond a simple transaction. It was about imagining a future for a place steeped in history, preserving its identity while reinventing its purpose,” emphasizes Vincent Roy, investment property broker.
This transaction also highlights the growing importance of heritage assets in the modern real estate landscape. They are no longer mere witnesses to the past: they have become catalysts for innovation and drivers of urban attractiveness. With this operation, Pilet & Renaud Transactions reaffirms its key role in the management and valuation of complex assets.
