Building a Caring Future Together

Europe faces a major demographic challenge. In the coming decades, the number of elderly people in the EU who require care – and consequently the demand for high‑quality care infrastructure – will increase exponentially. Care Property Invest aims to provide an appropriate response to this challenge.
 To make well‑considered investments in high‑quality real estate solutions for seniors and people with disabilities across Europe. We acquire, build and renovate high-quality healthcare properties (residential care centres, groups of assisted-living apartments, residential complexes, etc.) and support care operators in developing their projects in an optimally organised manner and at the best possible price. We do so in the most sustainable way, from a solid organisational foundation, in close consultation with all stakeholders and fully tailored to the needs of end users. In this way, we guarantee future residents both care certainty and living comfort.
At the same time, we want to ensure that our shareholders realise the returns they deserve. As a public Regulated Real Estate Company (public RREC) under Belgian law, Care Property Invest strives for an attractive long‑term return. Because our real estate portfolio consists entirely of healthcare real estate, shareholders pay only 15% withholding tax.

Our values

Professionalism

At Care Property Invest, we believe that excellence in healthcare real estate and strong financial performance go hand in hand with creating the best possible care environments. Our commitment to professionalism drives us to continuously improve and innovate, ensuring that we can keep meeting the evolving needs of our investors, care operators and their residents.

Integrity

As a listed healthcare investor, we consider integrity to be of paramount importance. In all circumstances, we strive for transparency and act in line with social and ethical standards and legal requirements. We want to build lasting relationships and have a positive impact on society. Sincerity is a crucial core value in this regard.

Change-driven mindset

Our society is constantly changing. Care Property Invest prepares for the future and monitors new trends and developments in the market on a daily basis. By being willing to evaluate and improve our own operations, we are growing as an organisation in line with these changes. This focus on change makes us an agile company and a reliable partner, with an eye for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.

Our strategy

Real estate

We consciously strive for:

 

  • The development of a well-balanced and diversified real estate portfolio, both geographically and across various operators, which we hold for the long term.
  •  Strengthening our public and private partnerships. We can rely on many years of experience with numerous local authorities, which gives us a unique position within our sector.
  • Exploring new opportunities within the European Economic Area (EEA) to further expand our presence and increase our impact, in addition to our activities in Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland.
  • Providing fast, tailor-made solutions, thanks to our extensive expertise and the short lines of communication with our clients, the care operators.

Financial

We continue to expand our carefully composed healthcare real estate portfolio so that our shareholders can continue to enjoy an attractive dividend yield.
It is our ambition to be a leading player in our market and to create sustainable value. To this end, we strive for:

 

  • Favourable financing conditions for both equity and debt, supported by our defensive risk profile.
  • An active dialogue with investors, lenders and other stakeholders.
  • A debt ratio not exceeding 50%, with an acceptable level of interest rate risk.
  • A responsible operating margin through efficient management.

Sustainability

  • Our ambition is to be a pioneer in sustainability within the healthcare real estate sector. Today, we already have one of the youngest and most energy-efficient real estate portfolios in the sector in Belgium. At the same time, we are preparing for future challenges, such as the growing demand for high-quality care real estate, climate change and energy transition.
  • At Care Property Invest, we base our sustainability approach on three pillars: investing in sustainable buildings, building lasting relationships and leading through ethical practices. Our concrete and measurable objectives ensure that sustainability is embedded in both our strategy and our daily operations. In doing so, we not only create value for our investors, but also have a positive impact on society and the environment.
  • Even though Care Property Invest is not legally required to report on sustainability, we have consciously chosen to continue reporting on a voluntary basis. This allows us to inform our stakeholders transparently about our sustainability performance.
