Investing in prestige real estate in 2026: the keys to a wealth-building asset

By Yves Mangold6 min readA resilient asset

Segments to favour
Income buildings in regional capitals
Strasbourg, European capital, offers 4 to 5% yields on renovated buildings in UNESCO areas.
High-end second homes
Alps and Riviera: international demand remains strong, and luxury seasonal rentals cover part of the costs.
Tax and structuring
Each acquisition deserves a tailored structure. We work with partner notaries and tax lawyers to optimise every file.
