Livit

What Livit does

Livit AG is a Swiss real estate management company headquartered in Zurich, founded in 1963 and operating as a subsidiary of Swiss Life Group. The company delivers an integrated service platform across three core lines: Bewirtschaftung (property management), Vermietungsmanagement (rental management), and Baumanagement (construction management), supplemented by a growing sustainability and ESG offering covering photovoltaic systems, e-mobility charging, and GRESB-aligned consumption reporting. Service delivery runs through nine regional branches across Switzerland (Zurich, Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano, Lucerne, Solothurn, and St. Gallen) with on-site personal advisors, combined with the myLivit tenant portal for digital requests, damage reporting, and service access.

The primary customer base is dual-sided: enterprise and institutional property owners (Eigentümer) on the B2B side, including Swiss Finance & Property Funds AG, and tenants (Mieter) on the B2C side. Notable mandates include nationwide property management of 153 properties for Swiss Finance & Property Funds AG, the 169-apartment Allverte first-time rental in Allschwil, the ~4,000 m² healthcare hub at Hohlstrasse 532 in Zurich, and construction management for the Mövenpick Wein branch in Locarno. The underlying digital stack combines the myLivit portal, Typewise AI chatbot for website inquiries, Swisscharge integration for EV charging billing, and standard Google/LinkedIn analytics and marketing tooling.

The business model is fee-based managed services and professional services: property management fees are typically structured as a percentage of managed property value or flat fees, rental management generates placement commissions and ongoing fees, and construction management yields project management fees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated individually. With 501-1,000 employees, no external funding, and stable Swiss Life Group ownership, Livit operates as a mature, scaled, single-country service provider with steady mandate growth and ESG-driven product expansion.
