Upon completion of the extension works, the contractual value will amount to approx. €10 million (i.e. an extension budget of approx. €4 million). The rest home is operated by WZC Prinsenhof VZW on the basis of a triple net long lease, which generates an initial triple net yield of approx. 6 %.

Description of the operator

WZC Prinsenhof VZW is a local player on the senior care market. Aedifica looks forward to this new collaboration with another reputable player in the Belgian care and housing sector.

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.
