The portfolio includes six care homes, two kindergartens, and 23 senior living units. The acquired assets are a mix of new buildings and buildings under construction.
We are very pleased to complete this deal. The acquisition is a prime example of our investment strategy. The assets are modern and well-located in Danish growth cities, long lease agreements ensure stable cash flows, and being new, the assets respond well to the high sustainability targets that we have set for the fund’s portfolio, commented Kasper Wehner, Co-Fund Manager, and Investment Director in Denmark.
The acquisition is the latest investment made by the Northern Horizon managed Aged Care IV. ACIV helps Nordic countries meet the challenge of a rapidly ageing population by funding the development of modern and high-quality care homes.

The acquired assets are located in Holte, Odense, Sorø, Greve, Helsinge, and Kolding and have a total lettable area of 39,502 sqm. Most of the assets will be taken over in 2023. Take-over of the last asset is expected to take place in May 2025.
