Background
New builds are rare on the Cologny hillside. Very few plots are available, building envelopes are strict and density is kept low. Rules protecting the shoreline and landscape also govern construction near the lake.
The key points
Two twin villas completed at the end of 2025 in Cologny are being marketed to international clients, according to Bilan. Each offers more than 1,300 m² of usable space, a lake view, an infinity pool and a private cinema.
The sale is handled by Hubert Chamorel, a broker at Forbes Global Properties. The price is available on request only.
Key figures
- More than 1,300 m² of usable space per villa.
- Six bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
- Around 24,500 francs per m² on average in this area.
What it means for businesses
This type of modern property mainly attracts wealthy international buyers, notably American or Middle Eastern, according to the broker. At this price level, Swiss buyers often already own a property and rarely move. Building permits are issued sparingly and are exposed to objections.
Who says what
For Hubert Chamorel, the lack of overlooking neighbours is an advantage in a dense area. He believes that no previous occupation is of value to the target clientele.
