Centro Serfontana: Wincasa Strengthens Presence in Ticino
With the acquisition of the mandate for the Serfontana shopping centre in Morbio, Wincasa further expands its commitment in Ticino. The Centre & Mixed Use Site Management manages Centro Serfontana, which belongs to a co-ownership group of ten mostly institutional investors, under a full mandate. Centro Serfontana is a popular shopping destination with around 50 shops and dining establishments on over 25,000 m² of retail space and is set to become Switzerland’s first 'zero emission' shopping centre as part of a comprehensive revitalisation by 2027.
Albin Kistler: Management for Growing Fund Portfolios
Wincasa has taken on the full mandate for the management of Albin Kistler's Swiss real estate portfolio with a market value of around CHF 200 million. The two funds 'AKISV' for tax-exempt pension schemes currently with eleven residential properties and a mixed-use property, and 'AKISP' for clients domiciled in Switzerland, which was successfully launched in the 4th quarter of 2025 with seven residential properties, are managed by Wincasa’s Property Management. While Wincasa has accompanied the 'AKISP' fund since its launch and took over management from 1 November 2025, the mandate for 'AKISV' came into effect on 1 January 2026. Albin Kistler pursues a long-term, sustainable growth strategy with both funds, continually developing the portfolios.
Further Successes and Outlook
In addition to these large-scale mandates, Wincasa has secured further contracts in the areas of residential, retail, and mixed uses in recent months. These include the real estate portfolio of the Federal Pension Fund PUBLICA with an investment value of around CHF 4 billion (as of 1 January 2027), the management mandate for the Akara Swiss Diversity Property Fund PK (ADPK) with a market value of CHF 3 billion across all language regions and usage types (as of 1 January 2026), and the Mixed-Use-Site Management of a modern high-rise project near Lausanne. Several important management mandates with around CHF 15 billion Assets under Management have also been extended.
'Our integrated service model is convincing across all regions of Switzerland, as shown by the new mandates and contract extensions with key clients,’ says Andy Kürsteiner, Head of Business Development at Wincasa. 'By consistently aligning our services with the needs of owners and users, we create added value and long-term partnerships.'
