Homepage20 years of Aedifica on Euronext Brussels

20 years of Aedifica on Euronext Brussels

Today, Aedifica celebrates 20 years of stock market listing on Euronext Brussels, demonstrating two decades of sustainable growth, strategic expansion and long-term value creation.

Today, Aedifica marks an important milestone in its history. Exactly 20 years ago, on 23 October 2006, Aedifica was listed on Euronext Brussels.

Over the past twenty years, Aedifica has grown from a pioneering Belgian start-up company into Europe’s leading healthcare REIT. What started as a local investor has expanded into a resilient healthcare real estate platform active in nine European countries, supporting thousands of care recipients every day through high-quality healthcare infrastructure.

A significant milestone in this journey was Aedifica’s inclusion in the BEL20 Index in 2020, underlining the company’s growing relevance within the Belgian capital markets and recognising the progress achieved since its stock market debut fourteen years earlier.

Built on trust and long-term partnerships

Aedifica’s growth story has been made possible by the continued trust of its shareholders, investors, financing partners and healthcare operators. Their confidence has enabled the company to steadily expand its portfolio, strengthen its capital base and invest in healthcare real estate that addresses Europe’s growing care needs.

Since its stock market listing in 2006, Aedifica has consistently pursued a long-term strategy focused on demographic trends, operational excellence and sustainable value creation. Through disciplined investments and strong local partnerships, the Group has built a resilient platform that combines financial performance with social impact.

A transformational chapter in 2025

The foundation for today’s leading position was further strengthened during the pivotal year 2025.

As Aedifica celebrated its 20th corporate anniversary, the company simultaneously embarked on a transformational new chapter through its merger with Cofinimmo. The combination of two major healthcare real estate players created a uniquely positioned platform with the scale, expertise and financial strength to accelerate future growth.

The merger further enhanced Aedifica’s geographic diversification, investment capacity and access to capital, paving the way for the Group to become Europe’s leading healthcare REIT. It also reinforced Aedifica’s ability to support healthcare operators and communities across Europe through continued investments in futureproof healthcare infrastructure.

Built for what comes next

The bell-ringing ceremony is not only a celebration of the past twenty years, but also a reflection of Aedifica’s future ambitions.

As demographic trends continue to drive demand for healthcare infrastructure across Europe, Aedifica remains committed to investing in futureproof care properties. Building on a strong track record, a resilient platform and a clear long-term strategy, the Group is well positioned to lead the next phase of healthcare real estate.
