Barcelona, October 18th, 2023.- Wellder, the socimi backed by Renta Corporación and the dutch fund APG, is advancing in the consolidation of its portfolio through the acquisition of five residences for the elderly from DomusVi, a leading company in the socio-sanitary sector and the primary operator of senior centers in Spain. Wellder will invest a total of 36.5 million euros in a sale and lease back transaction, which was advised by JLL.

The assets, located in the Autonomous Communities of Galicia and Castilla León, have a total area of 36,000 square meters and offer a total of 826 beds, including 99 day care center spots. Specifically, the socimi has acquired the following DomusVi residences: DomusVi Ciudad de Pontevedra, with an area of 5,258 square meters and 120 beds; DomusVi A Coruña Oleiros, with an area of 5,453 square meters and 154 beds; DomusVi Decanos Ávila, with an area of 10,250 square meters and 205 beds; DomusVi Nuestra Señora del Camino (León), with an area of 11,191 square meters and 253 beds; and DomusVi Monfarracinos (Zamora), with an area of 3,949 square meters and 94 beds.

Wellder is committed to maintaining high Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) sustainability standards as a fundamental criterion in the investment and development of its assets, creating a portfolio of top-quality assets in the field of health, well-being, and environmental respect. Therefore, the socimi will certify all acquired assets with the prestigious BREEAM certification, in the "In Use - Very Good" category, with the exception of the residence located in Pontevedra, which will achieve an "Excellent" rating.

With 30 years of experience in serving people, DomusVi is a trusted player in addressing the significant demographic challenge posed by longevity in Spain. This transaction will enable DomusVi to continue investing in new facilities and resources to ensure the construction of a service platform that is tailored to the reality and needs of our country's population. All of this with the aim of responding to current health and social challenges, primarily focused on prevention, chronic care and personalized attention.

Investment in the socio-healthcare sector

With this transaction, Wellder becomes the most active player in the senior care segment throughout 2023, adding a total of 6 assets to its portfolio with a total investment of 44 million euros. Last February, it invested 7.5 million euros in the acquisition and renovation of the DomusVi Río Vena senior care facility, representing the first asset in the portfolio. The residence, located in the city of Burgos, has 98 residential spots and a surface area of 4,500 square meters.

The vehicle, exclusively managed by Renta Corporación, was established at the end of 2022 with the goal of acquiring, in its initial phase, high-quality real estate assets in Spain totaling 250 million euros and meeting elevated ESG standards. Currently, Wellder continues working on new closures for its investment portfolio, which it aims to formalize before the end of the year.

The socimi, specializing in residences for the elderly and health centers, enhances Renta Corporación's investment and capital management business, expanding even more its target market and increasing its recurring revenue. It is anticipated that Wellder will go public in the course of the next year in 2024.
