Key facts
The Real Estate Management Unit of the Federal Office for Buildings and Logistics (FOBL) is responsible for providing premises for the civil Federal Administration. The varied portfolio covers some 2,500 buildings and parcels of land, with a replacement value of around CHF 6.5 billion. Approximately 95% of the properties are outside the Bern city limits and are not subject to the FOBL’s 2024 accommodation strategy (UK 2024). Rather than administrative buildings, these are largely buildings tailored to the specific needs of the organisation using the premises (incl. asylum centres, representative buildings, research and sports facilities).
