Aedifica is also pleased to announce a new extension project for the Die Rose im Kalletal rest home in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany), owned by Aedifica (through Aedifica Luxemburg I SARL) since 16 December 20144.

The investment for the project amounts to less than €3 million and will generate an initial gross rental yield of more than 6 %, on the basis of a double net long lease. The extension is to be completed by the end of 2015 and will be added to the portfolio during the first half of 2016. Aedifica benefits from a triple net 10-year warranty for the maintenance of the building.
The agreement that was signed in the framework of this extension is subject to the usual outstanding conditions in Germany for this kind of transaction.
