We have the ambition

to prepare for the predicted
increase in the number

Finally, in December 2013, Cofinimmo signed an agreement for the acquisi-
tion of a former office building to be reconverted into an acute care clinic,
located in Eindhoven, in the south of the Netherlands, for €1.4 million. The
sale contract will be signed once the permit required to carry out the
reconversion works has been obtained.
The renovated establishment will cover 3,046m² and comprise around
100 parking spaces. The estimated total budget is €6.0 million, of which
€3.2 million for the construction, to be paid by Cofinimmo, and €2.8 million
for the fitting-out, to be paid by the operator Equipe. The delivery of the
works is scheduled for the second quarter of 2015 at the latest.
