A newly completed care home designed with ambitious sustainability targets

The property is one of ACSIF’s most recent acquisitions, a forward purchase with handover in May 2026. The project has been developed by SPD, a specialized Danish developer focused on care and senior living properties.

The care home comprises 48 beds for residents requiring 24/7 care, as well as kitchen, communal and administrative facilities, across a total gross floor area of 4,000 sqm.

In the design of the care home, the overall focus has been on creating a homelike environment, with space for both community and privacy.

The building comprises two floors, with 24 care units on each floor. From the ground floor, there is direct access to a secure courtyard, while the first floor provides access to a large shared terrace. Each floor is divided into smaller, more intimate units, creating a homelike setting where individual needs can be accommodated through close collaboration between care staff, nutrition assistants and residents.

From the outset, the project has been designed with ambitious sustainability targets. The building has been constructed in accordance with Gold-level requirements for DGNB certification, a leading benchmark for responsible construction that reflects high Danish building standards.

This ambition is also reflected in the building’s EPC rating of A2020, meaning it qualifies as a low-energy building and meets the highest energy efficiency standard under the Danish energy labelling framework.

The heating source of the care home is district heating, a widely used heating source in Denmark. According to data from 2024, the district heating grid mix in the Vallensbæk North area is composed of 94% renewable energy.

The building’s energy performance is further enhanced by rooftop solar panels covering 350 sqm, expected to generate around 69,000 kWh annually. This is projected to cover more than half of the building’s expected electricity consumption.

The care home is operated by Diakonissestiftelsen, a non-for-profit operator with a strong values-based DNA and more than 100 years of experience across elderly care, hospice, psychiatric care and childcare.

Energy efficiency is a key focus area for the operator. Since 2021, Diakonissestiftelsen has sourced certified green electricity through agreements with their energy supplier, ensuring a high share of renewable electricity consumption. In parallel, Diakonissestiftelsen’s heating supplier has increased the renewable share of its energy production, resulting in more than 88% of the operator’s total energy consumption being sourced from renewable energy.

At Diakonissestiftelsen, a core value is to take responsibility for individuals and for the society we are part of. Sustainability is embedded in this commitment, and in this context, a particular priority for us is to use energy responsibly. This is also a focus area for our facility in Vallensbæk.
