1 Properties in the best locations. SBB Real Estate.

2 2 SBB is much more than just a train operator: not only is SBB Switzerland s largest transport company, it is also one of the foremost players in the country s property sector. SBB Real Estate develops the company s stations and adjoining sites to create attractive service centres sustain able development that is of major importance to Switzerland s future.

3 We improve quality of life. Each day, around 1.3 million people use Switzerland s railway stations. Some are heading for the office in the morning while night owls return home. Anxious teenagers on the way to their first date brush past married couples, equally full of expectation, as they set off on holiday. Stations cater for the needs of all these people: a coffee and newspaper on the way to work or something to eat at home for supper; a bouquet of flowers or new sunglasses to replace the ones left behind on the kitchen table. Our stations have thus developed into service centres that are constantly adapting to the changing needs of an ever-increasing number of passengers. Station development also enhances the surrounding sites. SBB is deve l- oping its stations on a sustainable basis and in response to demand, thereby benefitting from the added value generated by the expansion of its rail service. The regeneration of urban districts and, in most cases, new places to live and work, improves local communities. SBB s 28,000-plus employees also rank among our customers. SBB Real Estate provides them with contemporary office, operations and production buildings in which to work. I look forward to welcoming you soon. Jürg Stöckli Head of SBB Real Estate 3

8 SBB Real Estate one of Switzerland s biggest real estate companies. Not only is SBB Switzerland s largest transport company, it is also one of the foremost players in the country s real estate sector. SBB Real Estate owns, manages and develops around 800 railway stations, 3,500 buildings and 4,000 sites. The Swiss rail network has seen continuous growth over the past 160 years a development mirrored by the expansion of its real estate portfolio. SBB Real Estate is responsible for stations and adjoining sites. On the one hand, the division provides the premises required by all of SBB s other divisions. On the other, it develops large-scale projects on sites adjacent to the tracks or stations and transforms them into service centres designed to meet the needs of business and society. Its strategy is as simple as it is complex: potential is identified and exploited, existing properties are redeveloped, used for their optimum purpose, managed and maintained in good condition. This enables SBB Real Estate to systematically pursue its objective of achieving a sustained increase in the value of its real estate portfolio. Attractive stations and service centres. Switzerland s railway stations are frequented by 1.3 million customers every day. Their satisfaction is our top priority. That is why SBB is developing its stations into travel centres attractive hubs that not only serve train passengers, but also meet all the needs of the people who pass through them. This encompasses not only the provision of a wide range of services, but also ensuring the security, cleanliness and the constant optimization of capacity for an increasingly mobile population. Through the development of new park-and-ride and bike-and-ride facilities, SBB Real Estate promotes combined mobility. Upgrading of surrounding areas. The sites surrounding SBB s railway stations harbour major potential. Often they are located in the middle of a city or municipality, meaning they are ideally suited to multiple types of use. SBB Real Estate develops these sites and uses them on a sustainable basis always with the needs of the public in mind. This enables the division to create added value for municipalities and cities, to the benefit of all. SBB Real Estate is currently developing around 100 of these sites nationwide. Cleanliness also spells safety. The maintenance of buildings, sites and railway stations accounts for a large part of SBB Real Estate s activity. Using state-of-the-art technology and ecological methods, hundreds of employees around Switzerland ensure the cleanliness of our facilities on a daily basis. In this way SBB can guarantee that the value of its entire real estate portfolio is comprehensively preserved. But that s not all: the fact is, cleanliness also spells safety. And that is the absolute number one priority for SBB. Sustainable and environmentally friendly. Rail is the most environmentally friendly form of mass transportation. To ensure that remains the case throughout the value chain as well as in SBB s own sphere, SBB Real Estate gives special consideration to people and the environment. This applies not only to new buildings and large-scale projects, but also to alterations and refurbishment work because Switzerland s future will only be guaranteed through sustainable development. 4,000 sites throughout Switzerland. 8

16 1. Portfolio of railway stations. Today s railway stations are public transport hubs and comprehensive service centres rolled into one. They are also constantly growing in importance. We focus on the needs of our passengers and are constantly redeveloping our stations with an emphasis on combined mobility. A few examples: Geneva-Cornavin: expansion and preservation. Geneva-Cornavin station is being comprehensively refurbished and given a complete facelift. Its historic façade has been preserved and capacity expanded to cope with the link with the new rapid-transit service to Annemasse. Löwenstrasse station, Zurich: added-value hub. The new Löwenstrasse through station is both a centrepiece and the central hub serving the Altstetten Zurich HB Oerlikon cross-city link. An underground shopping mall also provides 2,500 m 2 of space for retail units and a comprehensive selection of services. In this way we are able to create genuine added value for Zurich thanks to an attractive city link. Aarau station: new-build with a European record. Aarau s new station building, completed in 2010, is a railway facility worthy of a cantonal capital. This spacious, transparent construction offers a high degree of comfort and convenience while also boasting Europe s biggest station clock (nine metres in diameter). Zug station: art on the railway. Zug s newly built station is truly a work of art. As daylight starts to fade, a light installation transforms this imposing station with its comprehensive array of services into a large ethereal mass. 16

This enables the division to benefit from the added value generated by these sites in the same way as the cities and municipalities.

Just two kilometres from the city centre, Pont Rouge is one of the biggest projects in the region.

Thanks to the Geneva-Annemasse rail link, Pont-Rouge offers outstanding public transport connections. Europaallee, Zurich: a new urban quarter. As a new urban quarter in the heart of Zurich, Europaallee sets new standards in terms of sustainability, architecture and public space making it the very epitome of contemporary, urban living. By ,500 study places, over 6,000 jobs, 300 apartments and 160 hotel beds will be located in the area. Neuchâtel, TransEurope: study at the railway station. TransEurope, at Neuchâtel s station plateau, offers 1,500 students, teachers and employees at the Haute Ecole Arc university of applied sciences a 12,000 m 2 state-of-the-art facility built to Swiss Minergie energy efficiency standards. This is merely the beginning; in the next phase, TransEurope is set to expand with a further 3,000 m 2 of office and retail space by Basel SüdPark: comprehensive upgrade.
