Swiss Life Asset Managers has entered into an agreement to sell the management operations of the Glatt shopping centre as part of a management buyout. The operations will be taken over by Rageth Clavadetscher, long-standing Managing Director of the Glatt shopping centre. As the owner of the property, Swiss Life Asset Managers will remain closely associated with the Glatt shopping centre.
The management buyout places the long-term operational management of the Glatt shopping centre in the hands of a well-established leadership team. Rageth Clavadetscher has played a defining role in the development of the Glatt centre for many years and has helped to strengthen its position as one of Switzerland’s most successful shopping centres. In future, he will manage the operations together with Vanessa Clavadetscher through Glatt Management AG, the company they have founded. Vanessa Clavadetscher brings extensive experience in the letting of retail space and in working with retail and food and beverage tenants.
“This step ensures continuity while also laying the foundations for the Glatt shopping centre’s long-term successful development,” says Paolo Di Stefano, Head Real Estate Switzerland at Swiss Life Asset Managers.
For tenants, business partners and visitors alike, stability, continuity and the seamless continuation of existing services remain the key priorities. Responsibility for the management of the Glatt shopping centre will remain unchanged under Rageth Clavadetscher. As part of the transaction, all employees currently working for the Glatt shopping centre, approximately 40 in total, are expected to transfer to Glatt Management AG. This will ensure that the expertise and operational experience built up at the Glatt shopping centre are retained and that operations continue smoothly without interruption.
“The Glatt shopping centre is much more than just a workplace to me. I am delighted to be shaping its fu-ture together with Vanessa and our experienced team and to build on its successful development,” says Ra-geth Clavadetscher, Managing Director of Glatt Management AG.
As the owner of the property, Swiss Life Asset Managers will remain closely associated with the Glatt shop-ping centre. Going forward, it will work with Glatt Management AG in a long-term partnership designed to ensure continuity and support the successful ongoing development of the Glatt shopping centre.
The transaction was signed on 30 October 2026 and is expected to be completed on 1 January 2027. The contracting parties have agreed not to disclose the sale price.
