Healthcare Activos, a leading Spanish investment platform specializing in the health sector, has announced a significant strategic move, investing over €150 million in the acquisition of seven healthcare facilities across Europe within just two months. This dynamic portfolio expansion, finalized between September and October, reinforces the company’s commitment to providing comprehensive care for Europe’s aging and vulnerable populations while emphasizing geographical diversification.
Strengthening Presence Across Europe
The latest investment includes three residences for the elderly, three mental health centers, and a multifaceted healthcare complex combining a residence for dependent seniors and a day center dedicated to eating disorder treatment. In total, these new facilities add over 600 beds to Healthcare Activos’ portfolio, further cementing its position as a major player in the European healthcare real estate market.
Among the newly acquired assets is a residence in Murcia, Spain, specifically designed for dependent elderly people, offering 132 beds. This acquisition underlines the company’s aim to expand its footprint in key regions across Spain and Europe. Other assets are distributed in France, Italy, and Portugal—including notable locations such as Champ de Mars (Paris), Como (Italy), Epinoy (Cambrai, France), Oyats (Calais, France), Boucles de la Seine (Yvetot, France), and Leiria (Portugal).
A Focus on the Healthcare Continuum
“The new properties that become part of the portfolio contribute significantly to geographical diversification, as well as to adding more centres at each step of the healthcare continuum,” Healthcare Activos stated. The company’s acquisition strategy reflects a holistic approach to healthcare real estate, supporting services ranging from senior living and mental health to specialized treatment centers.
Long-Term Management and Sustainability Commitment
All newly acquired centers will be operated by experienced European care providers under long-term contracts, ensuring consistent, high-quality care for residents and patients. Healthcare Activos has also emphasized the integration of social and environmental sustainability criteria in facility management, aligning its investments with broader ESG goals.
Healthcare Real Estate Proves Resilient
This significant investment follows market trends identified by consulting firm Colliers, which reported that investment in healthcare real estate assets in Spain surged past €600 million so far in 2024. The sector’s resilience is attributed to the growing need for healthcare infrastructure and the entry of new investors, such as Azora’s Romano Senior fund, focused on elderly care facilities.
With the backing of established European operators like CNP Assurance, Clariane, Emeis, and DomusVi, Healthcare Activos is poised to play an even greater role in shaping the future of healthcare delivery in Europe.
