The activities of ULI Switzerland are mainly concentrated in the metropolitan region of Zurich, with Western Switzerland increasingly a focus of the network. With the support of the office in Frankfurt am Main, ULI Switzerland offers its members a wide range of events and programmes to promote the further development and optimisation of urban spaces.
Chair ULI Switzerland:
Birgit Werner MRICS, CEO Indevise Group
“High-calibre exchange, network and inspiration: These are the reasons why I have been actively involved since 2005 and have been helping to build the ULI in Switzerland since 2013. We have embedded local issues in international ULI-led initiatives and vice versa. We have already achieved a lot together”.
Co-Chair ULI Switzerland:
Rainer Marti, Fahrländer Partner
“To take up internationally pronounced phenomena and developments from disciplines such as the real estate industry, urban development or spatial and transport development, to transfer them to a Swiss context and to address them at regularly held specialist events with actors from the private and public sectors – this is the great strength of the global ULI network and the motivation to get involved with ULI.”
Co-Chair Young Leader ULI Switzerland:
Brice Hoffer, UBS
“ULI’s ability to foster the collaboration between public and private sectors across all industries related to urban planning and to enlighten local challenges in a global context makes it a very unique and valuable organisation. Through my engagement for ULI, I am willing to contribute to an expert’s community striving for the development of sustainable urban planning practices and to strengthen connections between young professionals and senior leaders in our industry.”
Co-Chair Young Leader ULI Switzerland:
Milan Vidakovic, AFIAA

“The association structures, but also the professional cultures, are strongly segmented in the Swiss real estate industry. Spatial planning, architecture and urban development, GUs and TUs, are separate worlds with their own reference systems, not to mention the master builders and building authorities in municipalities and cantons. The ULI culture and ULI meetings can help to overcome these divisions. I also think it is good that private and public developers are strongly represented in the ULI and thus form a certain counterweight to the dominance of planners in the public discussion.”
– Dr. Thomas Held, Member of ULI Switzerland –
“As a long-time member of ULI, I greatly appreciate this unique combination of think tank and communications platform. Meetings and conferences are always at the highest level and publications and best practices are extremely valuable. So it’s fantastic that ULI is finally coming to Switzerland. This will also help in the urgent professionalisation and internationalisation of this rather internal, small sector.”
– Thomas Sevcik, Managing Director, arthesia –
