Type: from the name – foundation, municipality, company or association where the name shows it, otherwise cooperative (not verified against the commercial register). Apartments: total number of apartments as stated by the provider, all cantons (– = unknown). * Waiting list noted: an entry in our directory, not checked individually – whether the provider keeps a list, and for whom (often only existing tenants), is stated on its own website; a link, where given, is the sign-up link on record, not checked by us (– = none noted). Active listings / listings: the provider's listings in the canton of St. Gallen on Laos.io. As of 5 Nov 2026.
Instead of checking every cooperative's website: Laos.io collects their listings. With a search alert and Premium (CHF 15 a month, 5-day free trial) you get new apartments by e-mail or WhatsApp as soon as we pick them up; without Premium, new listings become visible on Laos.io after 24 hours.
Set up a search alertOur directory lists 67 housing cooperatives and non-profit landlords in the canton of St. Gallen (as of 5 Nov 2026). The directory is not necessarily complete: very small cooperatives are sometimes missing.
18 cooperatives currently have active listings on Laos.io, for example Logis Suisse AG (31), Wohnbaugenossenschaft 1904 St.Gallen (21), Alterswohnungen (15) and Wohnbaugenossenschaft St. Gallen (14). Across all providers, 128 listings for cooperative apartments in the canton are active, including listings from property portals. Check with the landlord whether an apartment is still available. Listings are often only online briefly – a search alert tells you about new ones.
Whether a provider keeps a waiting list, and for whom, is stated on its own website – some lists are only open to existing tenants or members, others are closed, and many providers let apartments only through listings. For 32 of the 67 providers in the canton of St. Gallen, our directory notes a waiting list, for 29 of them with a sign-up link (not checked individually). Where a list is open, you usually register online or by e-mail and may have to confirm your registration regularly.
In everyday use both terms mean the same: a cooperative that builds or buys apartments and lets them to its members at cost rent, without a profit margin. Names such as housing, residential or estate cooperative usually also refer to non-profit housing providers.
