The building will obtain a level A energy label.
Maron Healthcare, redeveloper and seller of the building and also partner of Cofinimmo since 2016, will carry out the works. Cofinimmo will provide the financing for a total amount of more than 2 million EUR within the framework of a ‘turn-key’ agreement. The works will start in the last quarter of 2019 and should be delivered in the second quarter of 2020.

The double net lease contracts have an average residual lease term of 15 years and will be indexed annually, based on the Dutch consumer price index. The gross initial yield amounts to approximately 6%.
