The Saint-Alban transaction is being carried out by the Uniti group, a listed group with a valuation of nearly €21 million. The developer has specialized for more than 8 years in the construction of intermediate and assisted housing: social housing, student residences and senior residences and operates throughout France.
The group plans to build an 82-unit retirement home and 43 parking spaces in Saint-Alban, a town 13 km north of Toulouse.
The residence is wholly owned by the Primonial fund and will be operated by Aquarelia, a company specializing in senior service residences.
The VEFA deed will be signed by mid-December at the latest and work will begin in January 2021. Delivery is scheduled for January 2023, with operations starting in February 2023.
SAS Symbiose is carrying the transaction and the UNITI group is providing its First Demand Guarantee to secure the bond issue.
The Capitalium Real Estate funds by Raizers invest 414 000€ in this operation.
* A LOI (Letter Of interest) is a pre-contractual document by which the parties to a negotiation define the limits and framework of the negotiation and express their intention to reach a conclusion.
This senior service residence has 81 independent dwellings as well as a caretaker's dwelling, built on 5 levels (R+4) and is composed of:
* 31 T1 (including the caretaker's dwelling), i.e. 33% of the dwellings
* 39 T2, i.e. 50% of the dwellings
* 12 T2 bis, i.e. 17% of the total housing stock
A restaurant will be located on the ground floor and the residence will have 43 outdoor parking spaces.
Tenders for the execution of the work are currently being issued.
The budgeted amount of €1,176 excluding VAT/sq.m., excluding fitting-out and VRD (Roads and Miscellaneous Networks), is consistent with market prices and the economies of scale that the group can achieve.
100% of the lots are pre-sold to Primonial under the partnership agreement signed between the Uniti group and Primonial on 10/07/2020. This agreement provides for the acquisition of a portfolio of 20 senior residence projects to be developed in France.
The provisional schedule of calls for funds provided for under the LOI issued by Primonial is as follows:
Under the terms of the agreement signed between Uniti and Primonial, the operation of the senior citizens' residences has been entrusted to Aquarelia, an operating company owned by Stéphane Oria's holding company. The company currently operates 4 residences and 10 others are under construction.
The State of Future Completion Lease is concluded for an 8-year farm, for an annual rent of €422,000 excluding taxes/charges.
The rents offered by Aquarelia to future residents are as follows:
The rent includes the following charges: water, electricity, heating, catering (lunch and dinner), entertainment, medical and paramedical coordination, 24/7 security assistance.
Saint-Alban is a commune in the Toulouse Urban Area, which comprises 452 communes with a population of 1,345,343 inhabitants. The Toulouse Urban Area is ranked as the 4th most populated area in France, just behind Paris, Lyon and Marseille. It includes the Toulouse Metropolis. Saint-Alban is located 13 km north of Toulouse. The town borders 6 communes in the Toulouse suburbs.
The residence is located 1 km from the city center of Saint-Alban and is connected by bus line 60. The bus line 60 also connects to the metro station "La Vache" (line B), which takes you directly to Toulouse.
A supermarket, a bakery and a pharmacy are located 4 minutes away on foot.
The market environment around Saint-Alban is conducive to the establishment of a Seniors Services Residence for several reasons:
* The proportion of people over 75 years of age in the population of Saint-Alban is 5%, i.e. 6,350 people today.
* The rate of increase in the number of senior citizens in the 75-84 age group in the Saint Alban area will be 86% in 2030, i.e. 11,800 people, with the arrival of the "papy-boomers", a population class over 75 years of age, the core target group for senior service residences, which will intensify the rate of growth of the senior population at least until 2030 in the sector.
* The offer of accommodation in senior citizens' residences is low in the Saint-Alban area: only one residence is operated in Aucamville (3.9 km from Saint-Alban).
The transaction is being carried out by SAS Symbiose, with a share capital of €100, registered with the Montpellier Trade and Companies Registry under number 851 973 594, on 09/08/2019.
