Arundel

What Arundel does

Arundel AG is a private Swiss holding company headquartered in Zurich, founded in 1988 as a property investment company. Its core operating asset is a portfolio of four purpose-built office buildings in Leipzig, Germany, totaling approximately 52,000m² (560,000 sq ft), which have been fully leased to the Free State of Saxony since 1997 under lease obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the Federal Republic of Germany (AAA credit rating). The Leipzig properties house state administrative functions including the Leipzig Local Court, Leipzig State Police, Saxon Court of Audit, and State Archives of Saxony, providing a structurally stable, sovereign-backed rental income stream.

In 2016, Arundel expanded into investment banking by acquiring RP&C International Inc., a London-based firm whose principals had advised Arundel since 1998 and had been involved in more than $8.5 billion of transactions across the USA, Europe, and India. Arundel also conditionally acquired undeveloped land parcels in India in 2015–2016, which are currently being marketed for sale. The Group operates from offices in Zurich, London (Weybridge, Surrey), and Dallas/Fort Worth (Westlake, Texas), though it no longer directly conducts regulated investment activities.

Arundel generates revenue from three streams: recurring rental income from the Leipzig government-leased portfolio (the dominant cash flow), passive consulting/advisory income through its RP&C holding, and one-time proceeds from the planned divestiture of Indian real estate assets. In July 2024, the company voluntarily delisted its shares, transitioning from public to private ownership. The Group has 11–50 employees and pursues a relationship-driven, principal-led investment approach with no public marketing presence or technology product offering.
