Strategic Profile

With over 130 employees operating in seven markets, Aedifica has become the leading healthcare REIT in Europe. In January 2026, the Belgian Competition Authority approved the acquisition of Cofinimmo by Aedifica, subject to certain conditions, representing a transformational consolidation of the European senior care real estate market. The company benefits from secular demographic trends favoring elderly care facilities and maintains a disciplined development strategy.
