A few years ago Cofinimmo identified nursing homes and clinics as a promising property investment, due to a forecasted growth in the number of dependent elderly people. We also invest in psychiatric, aftercare and rehabilitation clinics. In fact, we have one of the largest portfolios of this type of property in Western Europe.

We don't assume any risk relating to the management of these institutions. This responsibility lies with the operators. The occupancy rate of Cofinimmo properties in this sector is constant and high (100%). Equally importantly, healthcare properties are often located in attractive residential areas, which helps to ensure attractive future valuations.

In 2008, Cofinimmo built on the expertise acquired in this segment in Belgium for establishing partnerships with leading operators in the French market too. As part of this expansion on the French property market, we have been listed on Euronext Paris since 23.06.2008 and adopted the status of "Société d'Investissements Immobiliers Cotée" (SIIC) on 04.08.2008.

At 31.03.2010, Cofinimmo's healthcare property portfolio consists of 98 properties, representing a total area of 465,948m² above ground and a fair value of € 817.5 million.
