Your Office Is Quietly Bleeding Cash. Here's the Proof.
For CFOs evaluating office costs in Geneva. Hidden energy waste, service charge escalations, and ESG risk add up to millions over 10 years. LINK provides contractual guarantees, years of actual consumption data, and transparent charges you can verify before you sign.
The Challenge
- High energy bills in your old building—poor insulation and outdated HVAC quietly eating margins, but you can't get actual consumption data to quantify it
- Service charges that seem to increase every year with no clear justification—'property management' is a black box
- Landlord claims 'excellent service' but when HVAC breaks, it takes weeks to fix—productivity loss adds up
- ESG reporting is painful: your current building has no verifiable data, just a Minergie plaque and promises
- Move cost uncertainty: How much will fit-out really cost? No one gives straight answers, and you've been burned before
What You Want
- Contractual energy guarantee you can hold the landlord to—not aspirational projections
- Transparent service charges with clear breakdown: CHF 63/m² for property management, CHF 31.25/m² for energy—no hidden escalations
- Responsive building management that fixes issues in hours, not weeks—from an on-site team, not a rotating property manager
- ESG data you can actually give your auditors: years of consumption history, verified metrics, auditor-ready reporting
- To be seen as prudent AND forward-thinking—the CFO who quietly optimized a major cost center with a defensible, long-term choice
How LINK Helps
Contractual Energy Guarantee
LINK doesn't just claim efficiency—we guarantee it contractually. Maximum energy intensity during working hours is in your lease. Years of actual performance data—not projections from an architect's model. Numbers your auditors can verify.
Transparent Service Charges
Property management: CHF 63/m²/year. Energy provision: CHF 31.25/m²/year. That's a dedicated on-site team maintaining the building—not one property manager visiting monthly. When you know exactly what you're paying for, you can forecast accurately. No escalation surprises, no black-box 'management fees.'
Owner-Operated = Aligned Incentives
Most Geneva buildings are owned by pension funds optimizing for short-term yield. LINK is owned by RI REALIM SA—a family company that built the building and stayed. Their incentive is long-term tenant satisfaction, not flipping the asset. When the owner's reputation is on the line, maintenance is an investment, not an expense to minimize.
ESG Data That Stands Up to Scrutiny
LINK has 250+ sub-meters throughout the building. Energy Manager monitors consumption daily. You get detailed data for Scope 3 emissions reporting, LEn compliance, and investor/rating agency requirements. Gas is CO₂ neutral (Vitale Bleu SIG). Electricity is 100% renewable hydraulic (Energimmo certified). This isn't greenwashing—it's auditor-ready.
