Cofinimmo Group acquired the walls of a post-acute care and rehabilitation clinic1 that is being built by the French Red Cross in Chalon-sur-Saône, in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté area, through the purchase of the rights of a 40-year Construction Lease2. A first installment of the purchase price of approx. 20 million EUR was paid today.

The facility is located in a joint development area3, which also houses a hospital, a nuclear medicine centre and a medical centre. At the delivery of the works, planned for the first quarter of 2019, it will offer 130 beds spread over an above-ground area of 9,300 m². It will include neurology, pulmonology, cardiology and neurovegetative services.

The French Red Cross will operate the clinic and signed today a ‘double net’4 lease5 with Cofinimmo for the residual duration of the Construction Lease. An annual fee of 1 million EUR will be due as from the delivery of the works. It will be indexed annually according to the French reference index for rents6.
