Interim Use & Vacancy Management
Suited to every phase of your residential property.
Vacancy Until Re-letting
If an apartment stands empty until the next rental, short- or mid-term rental bridges the time, productively instead of unused.
Vacant Luxury & City Properties
High-quality city and luxury apartments can be positioned as furnished short- or mid-term rentals instead of standing empty while waiting for re-letting.
More than bridging vacancy: Interim use also delivers real-world insight into demand, occupancy and achievable rates. Alongside bridging the vacancy, this creates a practical test under real market conditions, and a more informed basis for deciding on a possible long-term short- or mid-term rental.
B2B Case Study · Near Sihlcity, Zurich
10 apartments fully furnished two weeks after signing, and in full operation until five days before demolition.
For a residential property with ten apartments slated for demolition, we handled the complete furnishing and ongoing rental operations right up until shortly before demolition.

5 daysNormal operations until five days before demolition, then furniture removal and clearance
Starting Situation
New construction was planned for the property. Until demolition, it was to be actively used to reduce the risk of squatting, rather than simply incurring costs for security guarding.
Implementation & Result
We furnished all units, launched marketing and took over operations, with the option to extend. The owners received rental income right up to the seamless handover just days before demolition.
