Amvest has received a €250m capital commitment for its living and care property fund from Gasunie, Woningcorporaties and a third unnamed Dutch pension fund.

The real estate investor owned by healthcare sector scheme PFZW and asset manager ASR, has said the capital raised for the Living & Care Fund, enables the fund to grow its healthcare real estate portfolio and develop new projects for individuals requiring care.

Woningcorporaties, the pension scheme for social housing corporations, contributed €150m to the Amvest fund’s capital, with the two additional pension funds each providing €50m.

Heleen Aarts, CEO of Amvest, said: “We are grateful for the trust of these three pension funds. Their investment enables us to accelerate the realisation of care projects in the Netherlands that meet a social need.

“We believe in forms of housing that contribute to older people living independently, more vital and happier for longer.â€� 

Since 2013, the Amvest fund has been investing in healthcare real estate for Dutch pension funds and insurers, with a focus on sustainable senior housing. The latest investments will bring its total invested capital to €1bn.
