Communities in transition
Tackling challenges today
Many current and future challenges for communities are complex and interdependent: coping with demographic change, reducing costs, improving ecology, and addressing loneliness through networking and service. bonainvest Holding and its subsidiaries can support and implement future-oriented solutions in these areas.
Coping with demographic change
Coping with demographic change
A turn away from the classic retirement home is long overdue. What is needed are combined, flexible and cost-effective forms of living and services that respond better than today to the wishes and needs of the Silver Society.
Reduce costs
Integrated cooperation in care for the elderly in the field of outpatient and inpatient care, as well as new, intelligent housing offers, enable people to live longer in their own four walls. This will be cheaper for every single elderly person, but also for the communities.
Strengthening networking and service
With social and digital networking and a range of individually optimised services, the communities increase the quality of life and security of their inhabitants and thus become more attractive themselves.
Improving ecology
Sustainable living does not only mean that apartments have to be built in such a way that they are suitable for all life situations. In the future, housing must also make an even greater ecological contribution to achieving climate goals. For this reason, present-day and future buildings must meet ever higher sustainability standards.
Using synergies brings benefits for all.
50 years of experience
Ivo Bracher, Chairman of the Board of Management of bonainvest Holding AG, presides in Biberist the Cooperative Alterssiedlung, in which the municipality of Biberist is also represented. Already 50 years ago, the cooperative recognized that the construction of apartments suitable for generations is the only practicable way to face demographic change on the one hand and the needs of older people and those of the communities on the other.
This led to the idea of bonacasa: mixed-generation living with threshold-free architecture and services and security available on request. In order to realize more projects, additional financial resources were needed, which is why the capital of private investors and above all pension funds was merged into a real estate investment company in 2009. All bonainvest projects are built according to the bonacasa building standard for future-oriented living.
Solutions from a single source
Our expertise is based on the three core areas consulting, implementation and networking: We support communities strategically in the development of a generational concept or in the reorientation of their old-age policy. With a long-term orientation, we develop and realize with bonainvest mixed-generation real estate projects in cooperation with municipalities. With bonacasa, we promote social and digital networking and offer a wide range of facilities such as concierge services or the 24/7 emergency call, which we can also make available at community level.
Consulting
Integral concepts and solutions for municipalities
We use our skills and years of experience to come up with implementable concepts and solutions, including in collaboration with external experts in old-age and care policy. We give recommendations for action and hold seminars and workshops with municipalities. For instance, we answer questions such as: how does optimal collaboration between outpatient and inpatient care institutions look and how great is the need for intergenerational homes in the municipality or region?
Realization
Property development and realization with bonainvest
bonainvest provides a reliable and fair investor for rapid realization of projects to meet a municipality’s individual needs. We hold independent architectural design competitions and realize sustainable, intergenerational residential developments for and with municipalities. Together with bonainvest, bonacasa has now built a total of over 1,000 intergenerational homes at 35 sites, some of which are in leasehold. We also specialise in planning and realizing nursing homes.
Networking
Security and services from bonacasa
We bring bonacasa home residents together — and municipality residents too. For example, we have set up a contact point for discussing age-related issues. We realize our residential developments in line with the bonacasa construction standard. bonacasa helps residents to live independently for longer by integrating the 24/7 emergency call function and offering care, meal and domestic services from a single source. This allows municipalities not only to enhance their residents’ quality of life, but also to reduce their healthcare costs.
