Funding structure

The loan is provided to the project owner for the purpose of acquiring an indirect interest in the property company, which comprises the property in question as well as five other care locations. The real estate remains the property of the property company and serves as collateral for this proposition.

The threshold amount of this proposition is €500,000 and the target amount has been set at €2,220,000. As an investor, you receive as collateral a second-ranking mortgage right on the property, as well as a pledge of the shares. In addition to the loan via Crowdrealestate, a bank loan of €2,717,420 has been secured for the property.

The market value of the care home with associated assisted-living units, appraised by CBRE in April 2026, is approximately €7,700,000. The surplus value, based on the total financing level and the aforementioned market value, is approximately €2,762,580. The underlying value of the mortgage registration therefore provides ample coverage.

The securities on behalf of the investors are registered in the name of Crowdrealestate's independent foundation.

Project description

The care property, also known as Haus Martha, is a care home with assisted-living units located in Oldisleben, a village that has been part of the municipality of An der Schmücke since 2019, in the German federal state of Thuringia. The municipality of An der Schmücke has approximately 6,000 inhabitants, spread across an area of approximately 95 km². The region shows the demographic characteristics typical of Thuringia: an ageing population, population decline, and an increasing share of elderly residents make care capacity in the area structurally relevant. The building opened in February 2016 as one of the most modern care homes in the region and has been in use as a fully operational care facility ever since.

The total lettable floor area is 2,450 m². Haus Martha has 50 rooms and offers a total of 54 beds, spread across 46 beds in single rooms and 8 beds in double rooms. The share of single rooms is approximately 92%. In addition, the complex has 6 assisted-living units, which are connected to the main building. The property is used as a nursing home in combination with assisted living.

Market description

The care real estate market around Oldisleben is strongly influenced by demographic developments in the federal state of Thuringia and, in particular, in the Kyffhäuserkreis district. The share of the population aged 65 and older in Thuringia stood at almost 27% in 2020 and is expected to rise to approximately 33% by 2040. Thuringia is therefore among the most aged federal states in Germany. This high share of elderly residents means that a relatively large proportion of the population belongs to the groups with an increased likelihood of requiring care.

This demographic trend translates into structural demand for in-patient elderly care, nursing home places, and forms of assisted living. The number of over-80s in Thuringia is expected to rise from approximately 170,000 to more than 225,000 between 2028 and 2040, a group with the highest likelihood of requiring care. For smaller towns such as Oldisleben, which fulfil a service function for surrounding villages within the Kyffhäuserkreis district, this means that care facilities are used not only by local residents but also by elderly people from the wider region.

Against this background, a stable market foundation for care real estate is emerging in Oldisleben. The combination of a strongly aged population, an already high care ratio in the region, and a structurally increasing share of over-80s results in a sustainable and predictable operating climate for care facilities within this segment in Thuringia.

End user

The property's rental income is approximately €456,000 per year, corresponding to approximately €15.50 per m² per month. The weighted average remaining lease term (WALT) currently stands at 5.5 years, providing stable and predictable cash flows. The operating result offers ample coverage for the interest costs of the loan. The tenant of the care property is AWO AJS (Arbeiterwohlfahrt Alten-, Jugend- und Sozialhilfe gGmbH), the Thuringian regional entity of the AWO. The AWO is one of the six recognized organizations within the German Freie Wohlfahrtspflege and operates nationally with more than 300,000 employees and approximately 2,100 locations. AWO AJS manages 38 nursing homes in Thuringia and, between 2013 and 2023, steadily expanded both its number of locations (+20%) and its workforce (+32%). Revenue and equity have risen consistently over that same period. Haus Martha's rental income is backed by structural Pflegevergütung (care-fee) reimbursements under long-term agreements with the Pflegekassen (statutory care insurance funds), which provides stable cash flows independent of the wider market.

The lease agreement is structured on a double-net basis. This means that, in addition to the rent, the costs of maintenance and insurance are also borne by the tenant, while the owner remains primarily responsible for the structural building components. This structure limits the operational costs and risks for the owner, provides a balanced allocation of responsibilities, and contributes to stable and well-predictable net cash flows over the long term.

Underlying organisation

The loan is provided to Healthcare Residential II B.V. for the purpose of acquiring an indirect interest in the property company Valartis Health Care Drei S.à r.l. This company comprises a total of six care locations, all let to AWO AJS as the main tenant.

The care portfolio in question has been financed on favourable terms via a bank loan from a major German bank. The combination of stable lease conditions and an established care operator as tenant results in predictable cash flows at the portfolio level.

The initiator has a demonstrable track record and a portfolio of commercial and residential (care) properties in Germany and the Netherlands, built up over several decades. The strategic focus is on the German market, providing stability and forming the basis for further growth within the care and real estate segment.
