Our history
Founded in 1983, Cofinimmo was originally an investor in office real estate. In 2005, riding on demographic trends, Cofinimmo moved into healthcare real estate with a diversification in terms of country, operator and medical speciality.
At the end of 2007, Cofinimmo acquired an entire portfolio of pubs in Belgium and the Netherlands, owned until then by Immobrew SA, a subsidiary of AB InBev and renamed Pubstone SA.
In December 2011 Cofinimmo acquired a portfolio of insurance services agencies in France, rented to the group MAAF, a subsidiary of the French insurance group Covéa. This acquisition was made by a newly established subsidiary of Cofinimmo, named Cofinimur I.
In 2014, Cofinimmo has become one of the major investors in healthcare properties in Continental Europe, with a presence in Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands.
Today, healthcare properties represent almost 50 % of Cofinimmo's total portfolio.
