Anyone got any suggestions for a very heavy caps typeface for use as a property development branding. possibly clean swiss-esque?
cheers

SOHO
not swiss but ultra heavy, plus soho is an area of 2 different cities so it's related to property development (in a very very tenuous kind of way)

I'm using Gotham Ultra for something right now, love me some Gotham although pairing it with Modern 216 might be a bad call... def starting with some of the HFJ typefaces is wise, Ziggurat is another fav of mine, but doesn't suit what you're looking for...

Well, here are a few, not swiss though. I wholly support the use of Akzidenz
I'm digging this Gill-like monster:

Benton Sans Black

Gill Sans Ultra makes me carsick.
Steer clear of all but the lightest weights of that pup, methinks.
Gotham is a great choice as others said. Benton Black or FG Black as well.
Good ol' Univers is swisser than swiss:
