Real Estate
Real estate is not just a key sector, it makes a vital contribution to the development of our society. More than just an area of expertise, real estate is a business based on convictions at Edmond de Rothschild. It is not limited to a simple return-based approach; it is our responsibility to support environmental and social changes with strong operational and local involvement.
