In 2016, Varia US Properties was listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange in Zurich under the ticker VARN, giving it access to public capital markets. From the outset, the company adopted an externally managed model. Rather than building an in-house operational team, it delegated asset management to Stoneweg Group, a Geneva-based international real estate asset and investment manager. Stoneweg Group, formed by Swiss senior real estate executives with broad national and international experience, established a US subsidiary, Stoneweg US LLC, to assist in asset selection, local asset management, and network development. Patrick Richard, an external manager from Stoneweg US, also serves as an executive member of Varia US Properties' board of directors, ensuring close alignment between the company and its asset manager.

It targets well-performing multifamily properties in growing urban submarkets, aiming to benefit from rental demand and property appreciation. Over the years, Varia US Properties has built a portfolio of multifamily rental housing across various US markets. As of June 30, 2026, the portfolio was valued at USD 891.6 million, with a loan-to-value ratio of 63% and a total of 5,273 units. Varia US Properties has navigated various market cycles, including periods of rising interest rates and economic uncertainty. In the first half of 2026, the company reported resilient results despite continued market headwinds, with consistent like-for-like rental performance. It also announced a definitive agreement with affiliates, signaling ongoing portfolio management activities. The company held its 2026 Annual General Meeting in Zurich on April 30, 2026, with 5,719,089 votes represented. Throughout its history, Varia US Properties has maintained its focus on the US residential market, leveraging the expertise of Stoneweg Group and its network of local partners to identify and manage investment opportunities.
