Cureus, a portfolio holder specialising in inpatient care properties that is building new for its own portfolio and actively manages it, has sold a third property from its own portfolio to a PATRIZIA investment company at the end of 2025, following the sale of two care locations announced in May 2025.
The asset deal was recently completed by a notary, and the transfer of ownership is scheduled for the first quarter of 2026. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
The subject of this transaction was the long-term leased site in Sankt Augustin near Bonn (North Rhine-Westphalia) to the care specialist compassio. The property, which is striking with its partly red façade design and curved building front, was completed in 2019 according to Cureus’ system approach in accordance with the KfW 40 standard. It has 4,700 square metres of gross floor area with 80 places for inpatient and short-term care as well as ten units for serviced living.
“Following the first transaction of several locations to PATRIZIA at the end of 2023 and the sale of two locations already completed this year, we are pleased to be able to demonstrate another successful cooperation in a market environment that continues to be challenging with this third deal,” says Christin M. Büttner, Member of the Executive Board of Cureus and responsible for real estate transactions at the company. She adds: “We would like to thank all those involved in this transaction for the professional implementation once again. With the additional liquidity, we will realize further new care locations in Germany according to high energy standards.”
Construction was carried out according to the Cureus system approach
Like all new buildings, this senior citizens’ residence was built in accordance with the Cureus standard of the system care property. This relies on uniform, high quality standards and is oriented, among other things, to the needs of the operators with a focus on residents and nursing staff. For example, the construction processes and all objects are optimized from the inside out: This applies, for example, to the size and arrangement of rooms to optimize areas and walkways. The on-site equipment is also well thought-out from a utility point of view: corridors always receive daylight, each room has floor-to-ceiling windows and the modern bathrooms and window arrangements always follow the same standardised system approach. In the architecture and façade design, however, great importance is attached to individuality and the highest quality in order to fit optimally into the respective project environment. Sustainable aspects also play an important role both in terms of the long-term profitability of a nursing home and its impact on the environment. For example, the KfW 40 standard is aimed for all properties. The bundled procurement, including floor coverings or elevator systems, also ensures cost synergies. Long-term maintenance contracts covering several properties also reduce the costs of the future operator. By constantly reviewing and optimizing this system approach, the creation of needs-based properties can be guaranteed.
