Haute Capital Partners Enhances Its Growth Strategy with the Strategic Sale of Haute Capital Properties
Biel/Bienne, 23.12.2024 — Haute Capital Partners (HAUTE) is proud to announce the completion of a strategic transaction involving its subsidiary, Haute Capital Properties, a company specializing in real estate development. This move represents a major milestone for HAUTE, enabling the firm to refine its focus on its core expertise and unlock greater value for its shareholders.
Haute Capital Properties has been instrumental in delivering impactful real estate projects; however, its resource-intensive operations prompted a strategic pivot. In a landmark transaction, Haute Capital Holding has acquired 200 shares of Haute Capital Properties for CHF 1’075’000. This transaction also includes the assumption of prime properties in Magglingen and Bellmund, valued at CHF 2’480’000, along with project costs amounting to CHF 4’035’900, and a debt offset of CHF 5’165’000. This move enables Haute Capital Partners to fully eliminate its debt and significantly strengthen its financial foundation, positioning the company to pursue high-impact opportunities with enhanced agility and a stronger balance sheet.
“The sale of Haute Capital Properties to Haute Capital Holding marks a transformative step for Haute Capital Partners. It allows Haute Capital Partners, the publicly listed parent company, to concentrate on its core strengths—navigating complex markets, identifying high-potential opportunities, and generating sustainable value for its shareholders. At the same time, we remain committed to offering exclusive investment opportunities in the real estate sector through partnerships with trusted and experienced professionals,” said Thibault Leroy Bürki, CEO of Haute Capital Partners.
Real estate will continue to be a pillar of HAUTE’s diversified investment strategy. By collaborating with strategic partners, the company maintains its presence in the sector while avoiding extensive capital tie-ups, allowing for greater flexibility and innovation in its broader investment approach.
This transaction highlights Haute Capital Partners’ dedication to adaptability and long-term value creation. By reallocating resources to its key areas of expertise, HAUTE is poised to achieve sustained success and strengthen its competitive edge.
