International alternative investment manager Capital Bay with headquarters in Berlin has been mandated by the Swiss Prime Anlagestiftung to act as the pan-European placement agent for the newly launched SPA Living+ Europe investment group. The mandate initially covers the markets of Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium and is designed for the long term. SPA Living+ Europe invests in European real estate with various attractive, age-appropriate residential forms and uses, focusing on the senior living sector. To allow for a diversification of the portfolio, types of use also include student housing, serviced flats, and micro living. Capital Bay's mandate also includes the property management. Target yield stands at four to five percent, the target volume is over one billion euros. Investors will be Swiss pension funds and pension schemes.
The CFO of Capital Bay, Rolf Engel, comments: “Capital Bay acts as a specialist and as a locally based partner for the new investment product in the various European markets. We currently manage more than €6.6 billion of assets under management at 21 locations with over 250 employees worldwide. The sister company 360 Operator with over 11,000 micro residential units and more than 5,000 employees in 6 European countries completes this unique platform. It offers the opportunity to enter into a holistic joint venture covering the entire value chain as well as the entire real estate life cycle in the 360° Living segment. The broad geographical positioning of the investment group and the utilisation mix create clear advantages in diversification. When combined with the planned yield of four to five percent, this makes for an exciting investment product, especially when viewed against the current shortages and investment pressure.”
In the initial development phase, SPA Living+ Europe’s investment focus will be on the German and French real estate markets. Other European countries may be added during the growth phase with the exception of Switzerland. Investors will be able to separately invest in the SPA Living+ Europe hedged and SPA Living+ Europe unhedged investment groups, or in both investment groups simultaneously. The investment group’s initial public offering is scheduled for the period from 1 October to 22 December 2020. Full details on the offering will be made available on the Swiss Prime Anlagestiftung website from 1 October: https://www.swiss-prime-anlagestiftung.ch/de
