Swiss Life Asset Managers has reached a new milestone in the development of its pan-European real estate platform with the official opening of a new office in Madrid. This initiative aims to consolidate its presence in Spain and Portugal, two fast-growing markets.

This new office illustrates Swiss Life Asset Managers’ commitment to delivering local real estate expertise, close to the markets and to the specific needs of its partners. Strong local roots, supported by experienced teams, are a key asset in understanding regional real estate dynamics.

Alexia Chocano, who has over 20 years of experience in real estate across Southern Europe and internationally, will lead the new Madrid office. She will support Swiss Life Asset Managers’ real estate strategy across the Iberian Peninsula, drawing on her in-depth knowledge of the market and local stakeholders.

Being close to local players is essential to support our real estate activities in Spain and Portugal, enhance the value of our portfolio and strengthen the quality of our asset management. The opening of the Madrid office and the appointment of a local head reflect our long term commitment and our market-connected expertise.

With this opening, Swiss Life Asset Managers is strengthening its sustainable growth strategy in Europe while consolidating its ability to identify investment opportunities across the Iberian Peninsula.

The Madrid office will be managed by Swiss Life Asset Managers France, which is responsible for real estate investments in Southern Europe. As of 31 December 2025, Swiss Life Asset Managers France managed nearly EUR 20 billion in real estate assets. Assets under management in Spain and Portugal currently amount to nearly EUR 800 million.
