Icade steps up the implementation of its strategic plan

« These transactions mark an acceleration in the implementation of Icade’s 2019–2022 strategic plan: Rotation of mature assets from the Office Property Investment Division, with the final deed of sale signed for the Crystal Park asset, a preliminary agreement signed for the partial sale of Eqho, and reinvestment in healthcare assets, with the acquisition of a portfolio of 12 medium- and long-term care assets. The first half of 2019 has been very active for Icade: these major transactions, which fit perfectly with our strategy, have confirmed the relevance of our strategic plan. »
