Matthews Switzerland

We're here to listen, learn, and build responsibly

Bringing decades of global expertise in housing and mixed-use development to Switzerland and Western Europe at a pivotal moment for urban growth

Why Switzerland, why now

Matthews is recognized across North America, the Middle East, and Africa for mixed-use development expertise. We've built integrated communities that combine residential, retail, office, hospitality, and public spaces—exactly what European cities increasingly need.
Meeting Europe's housing and mixed-use needs
Switzerland and Western Europe face significant housing supply challenges while cities increasingly favor integrated live-work developments. Matthews' expertise in creating mixed-use communities that combine residential, retail, office, hospitality, and public spaces directly addresses what European cities need—quality housing within walkable, sustainable neighborhoods.
Institutional partners seek experience
European institutional investors and municipalities are seeking proven development partners with track records in complex urban environments. Matthews' experience across diverse regulatory frameworks positions us to work effectively in European contexts.
Switzerland: A natural starting point
Switzerland's regulatory stability and institutional depth make it an ideal place to establish our European presence. Success here, built on strong local partnerships, can inform our approach in neighboring markets.
Long-term commitment to Europe
We're establishing a dedicated European operation led by Dr. Andreas Steinbauer, with the intention of building a lasting presence rooted in local markets, relationships, and expertise.

What we develop

Housing-forward, community-centered, built to last
01
Multifamily housing

High-quality rental and for-sale housing that addresses affordability while maintaining design excellence. From workforce housing to premium residences, we build homes people want to live in.

02
Mixed-use communities

Integrated developments combining residential, retail, office, and public spaces. These are neighborhoods, not projects—designed for how people actually live and work.

03
Urban infill & regeneration

Transforming underutilized sites in established neighborhoods into vibrant, sustainable communities. We work with cities to maximize value while respecting context.

04
Select hospitality

While housing is our focus, we selectively develop hospitality components within mixed-use projects where they enhance the overall community and investment returns.

Let's explore opportunities together

Whether you're an institutional investor, municipal partner, or landowner, we're interested in learning about opportunities to create lasting value through housing and mixed-use development.
