ISSY-LES-MOULINEAUX, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
The acquisition of the real-estate portfolio—composed of eight nursing homes in Germany and one in Marseille, France— is part of a sale-and-leaseback transaction between Icade and ORPEA (Paris:ORP), the world leader in long-term care.
ORPEA, which developed most of these facilities, will lease and continue to operate them.
The portfolio, comprising 906 beds and 143 apartments covering a total floor area of 55,043 sq.m, is mainly made up of new or recent assets:
- Four of the eight assets in Germany are currently being built and scheduled for completion in H2 2020;
- The other five assets are already up and running.
The average unexpired term of the new leases that start from the date of acquisition is 14 years.
This transaction with the ORPEA Group marks the first step of a long-term partnership between the two companies. For example, the ORPEA Group and Icade will remain co-investors in three facilities in Germany.
These acquisitions, subject to clearance from Germany’s Competition Authority, are expected to be finalised in Q3 and Q4 2020 depending on the facility.
“This first transaction with ORPEA, one of Europe’s leading elderly care specialists, is fully consistent with Icade’s strategy to help large healthcare operators successfully execute their expansion strategy in Continental Europe. It furthers Icade’s international diversification strategy with respect to its healthcare property investments. This deal brings the total to €580m in international investments made by the Healthcare Property Investment Division to date, including c.€390m in Germany, one of the three countries targeted outside France. The healthcare property investment market has remained active and we are confident that it will continue along this trajectory.”
Olivier Wigniolle, CEO of Icade
“This first sale-and-leaseback transaction with Icade, one of Europe’s major players in healthcare real estate, is fully in line with ORPEA’s strategy to continue to own 50% of the facilities it operates. In addition, ORPEA will remain a co-investor with Icade in some of the properties, making the partnership even more solid and beneficial. This transaction has been carried out as part of a disposal plan, totalling over €1.5 billion in assets to be sold over the 2020–2024 period. Institutional investors’ interest in healthcare real estate remains high and demonstrates the strength and resilience of the long-term care industry.”
Yves Le Masne, CEO of ORPEA
