Key facts
With an area measuring 97 square kilometres, approximating half the size of the Canton of Zug, the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) are among the largest property owners in Switzerland. 3,500 buildings on about one-fifth of this area are not used for operating purposes. SBB Real Estate is responsible for professionally managing properties not needed for rail network access and aligning them to market requirements to improve the SBB’s financial strength.
