Real estate insurance solutions

Zurich’s property insurance options help guard against the unique risks of your commercial real estate business by allowing you to expand your coverage beyond the traditional limits. Features include:

• Zurich Protect®: a suite of commercial policy wordings that features an easily-customizable modular format to address the needs of small to mid-sized real estate businesses. It also offers optional property extensions including business income loss, bylaws and demolition protection, and debris removal coverage.
• A Real Estate Advantage endorsement that goes beyond traditional property coverage, to offer property owners many additional options including tenant relocation and replacement expense coverage, crisis event management, and emergency evacuation expense coverage.
• BetterGreen™: designed for customers that are or are in the process of becoming “green” compliant. It gives customers the option to upgrade property without tying those upgrades to a “green” certification level. 
• Contingent Building Insurance, which covers payments for loss or damage to property in the event a tenant – contractually obligated by lease to carry insurance – failed to obtain it, cancelled it or had insufficient limits of insurance.

Z Choice™ Real Estate Environmental Liability (REEL) policy includes three coverages to protect against the environmental liabilities associated with the ownership, operation, development and management of commercial real estate properties. Coverages include:

• Crisis management reimbursement for public relations expenses in response to a pollution event 
• Green remediation related to cleanup of a covered pollution event and repair
• Replacement of property damaged during pollution cleanup to comply with green standards
