"The CB GII Senior Living Fund I is to be endowed with an investment volume of up to EUR 500 million funded through with appropriate equity and debt contributions," says Rüdiger Kimpel at Capital Bay. "There are already equity commitments of EUR 100 million for the semi-open fund. In the next six months, properties with a volume of 100 million euros are to be contributed to the fund. For this purpose, we are currently in the final due diligence process for 20 assets that are to be contributed to the fund after notarization.

By the end of the year, the investment volume is expected to grow to 200 million euros and be invested in additional senior living projects. "

Anni Hönicke from GII Frankfurt Office says: “We see strong demand for modern space in Senior Living Facilities. This demand will nor only be met with new developments.
