“Aedifica continues to expand its healthcare portfolio by investing €21 million in two developments at an attractive yield.
These projects reflect our continued commitment to replenishing our development pipeline with high-quality, purpose-built assets across Europe. Upon completion, the care homes will accommodate a total of 212 residents, meeting the highest standards of care, comfort and sustainability. Both investments underline our disciplined capital allocation, our focus on long-term partnerships with experienced operators and our ambition to build a resilient, well-diversified European healthcare portfolio.”

In-house development of a care home in Salamanca (ES)
Aedifica will invest approx. €13.5 million in the development of a care home in Salamanca (Spain).
Description of the project
The brand-new care home1 will be developed close to the centre of Salamanca (150,000 inhabitants), a city in Castile and León (over 2 million inhabitants). Designed over five floors, the care home will accommodate up to 160 residents in spacious bedrooms with en-suite facilities that are specifically tailored to suit the needs of elderly people requiring continuous care. Residents will be able to enjoy homelike communal areas, including dining rooms and living rooms with terraces, a gym and a garden.
Truly futureproof, the care home will not only offer the highest standards in terms of care and comfort, but also in terms of sustainability. It will be equipped with a rooftop solar power system supplying the building with renewable energy. This will be reflected in a high performance ‘A’ EPC score, contributing to the continued improvement of the sustainability of Aedifica’s real estate portfolio.
Construction of the building will start in September 2026 and is expected to be completed in Q3 2028.
Description of the transaction
Aedifica acquired ownership of the plot of land in 2021. On 14 July 2026, Aedifica exchanged contracts for the development of the property. Construction will be financed in instalments, depending on the progress of the work. Aedifica’s investment (2) (development budget) will amount to approx. €13.5 million.
Description of the operator and the lease
The care home will be operated by Neurocare Home, a Spanish care operator and developer founded in 2021 with an experienced management team and a solid track record in providing high-quality residential and dementia care to the elderly. Neurocare Home already operates six care homes in Spain, accommodating 840 residents, of which two are owned by Aedifica.
The care property will be let on the basis of a new, irrevocable, 30-year, triple net lease.
Forward funding of a care home to be built in Salo (FI)
Aedifica will invest approx. €7.5 million in the development of a brand-new care home in Salo (Finland).

Salo Haukkalankuja 3 will accommodate up to 52 elderly people in spacious bedrooms with en-suite facilities that are specifically tailored to suit the needs of elderly people requiring continuous care.
The building’s design reflects our commitment to sustainability. Truly futureproof, the care home will be equipped with energy-efficient systems, such as geothermal heating, heat recovery ventilation, a rooftop solar power system supplying the building with renewable energy and triple-glazed windows. This will be reflected in a high performance ‘A’ EPC score, contributing to the continued improvement of the sustainability of Aedifica’s real estate portfolio.
Construction of the building will start in July 2026 and is expected to be completed in Q2 2027.
