Press release

Completion of the extension and renovation phase of the « Seniorerie La Pairelle » rest home in Wépion

Aedifica is pleased to announce on 25 April 2013 the completion of the extension and renovation of the « Seniorerie La Pairelle »1 rest home in Wépion, in the Province of Namur.

Seniorerie La Pairelle

As reminder, Aedifica acquired the rest home (along with two parcels of adjacent land) in 20082 for €3 million. The rest home, dating back to the 90's and ideally situated near Namur, on the banks of the Meuse River, comprised at that time 51 beds. The initial triple net yield amounted to 6.3 %. Moreover, in the framework of the long lease with the operator of the rest home (the Armonea group, a major player in the Belgian senior care market), Aedifica committed to finance the extension and the renovation of the site in order to allow the operator to double the capacity of the site.

The extension and the renovation of the rest home were carried out in two phases:

  • Phase I: construction of a new building on the two parcels of land adjacent to the existing rest home,
  • Phase II: extension and renovation of the original building acquired in 2008.

Phase I of the project was completed on 26 January 2012. The investment amounted to €6.4 million (incl. land). The rest home capacity remained unchanged at 51 beds ; residents were transferred from the original toward the new building.

Phase II of the project was completed today. The investment amounted to €2.2 million, increasing the number of beds of the site by 67 beds.

The extensions and renovations of the site were carried out in compliance with the latest technics for thermal isolation and energy performance (K=27 for the new constructions ; K=40 for the renovated parts), even better than the current standards in force.

Finally, the total capacity of the site doubled and rose from originally 51 beds to 118 beds. The total investment after the extension and renovation amounted to approx. €11.2 million. The perceived annual rent after completion of the works will amount to approx. €0.7 million, i.e. a triple net rental yield of approx. 6.4 %.

The realisation of this project fits perfectly with the investment strategy of Aedifica, in the senior housing segment, which aims to strengthen and improve the existing sites by their development. This enables Aedifica to obtain interesting yields and illustrates the potential of its development projects3 and its recent acquisitions4 .
