Outstanding conditions lifted for the acquisition of the "Haus Dottendorf" rest home in Bonn (Germany)

Aedifica is pleased to announce that on 20 June 2014 the outstanding conditions1 have been lifted for the acquisition of the "Haus Dottendorf" rest home2 in Bonn, in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany). The purchase price was paid on 23 June 2014 and the full use of the building is acquired today by Aedifica SA. The operation was financed using Aedifica's credit facilities. With this acquisition, Aedifica has reached the milestone of 50 senior housing sites.

Haus Dottendorf

This investment in Germany is consistent with Aedifica's strategy in the senior housing segment. It allows for better diversification of tenants and extends the Company's operations in a market which tends to structure itself at a European level.

  • 50 senior housing sites with a capacity of 4,832 residents;
  • 864 apartments, of which:

  • 6 hotels comprising 521 rooms.

The breakdown by sector is as follows (in terms of fair value):

  • 62 % senior housing;
  • 28 % apartment buildings, of which:
  • 20 % unfurnished apartment buildings;
  • 8 % furnished apartment buildings;
  • 10 % hotels and other building types.
