The acquired complex comprises 87 apartments and 8 commercial spaces as well as a swimming pool, and 99 underground parking spaces.

Aedifica entered into two leases for the buildings, namely:

  • A 7-year fixed lease (with a 5-year extension clause) with the seller of the site, insurance company AachenMünchener: the lease is applicable to the 18 apartments. These apartments are rented by a company of the AachenMünchener Group to host its staff during their stay in the site's training centre.
  • A 25-year fixed lease with Schloss Bensberg Management GmbH ("SBM"): this lease is applicable to all buildings (excluding the 18 apartments rented to AachenMünchener) operated by SBM as "assisted-living apartments" for elder people. SBM sublets the apartments and the commercial spaces to occupants. It is foreseen that SBM's lease will integrate the apartments rented to AachenMünchener in the event that the lease applicable to these apartments would expire.

The initial gross rental yield amounts to approx. 6 %. The contractual value2 of the complex amounts to approx. €14 million.

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

2 The contractual value complies with the provisions of article 49 §1 of the Belgian Act of 12 May 2014 on Regulated Real Estate Companies.
