“These new operations enable us to be on track with our planned trajectory”
Shortly after signing a real-estate disposal agreement in the Netherlands, we are actively implementing our asset ownership strategy.
These new operations enable us to be on track with our planned trajectory of 500 million euros of real estate disposals per year up to 2026 and are also aimed at reducing the Group’s holding rate of operated assets to 20 to 25% in the medium term, thereby strengthening the Group’s financial structure.
We are seeing a return to real estate transactions on the part of certain investors, which gives us confidence in our target of 1.5 billion euros of disposals by 2026.
The signing of long-term leases is evidence of this confidence and of our determination to expand in key markets such as Ireland.
Laurent Guillot – Chief Executive Officer of emeis
“This transaction highlights Healthcare Activos’ key investment fundamentals”
We are very honored to continue our longterm partnership with emeis across Europe with its renewed ownership and strong business acumen in such a critical and sensitive sector for society as Care and Dependency.
This transaction highlights Healthcare Activos’ key investment fundamentals, partnering with emeis to develop future-proofed critical infrastructure in carefully selected catchment areas with guaranteed healthcare needs in the long-term.
It also marks our entry into the Irish market, whose long-term fundamentals are very solid, and where we intend to gradually expand our presence over the coming years.
Jorge Guarner – Chairman of Healthcare Activos
