Gide has advised DomusVi on establishing and financing its second OPCI real estate investment scheme "ImmoVi II", for a total investment amount of EUR 139 million from a pool of lessors comprising Société Générale, Crédit Agricole, CM-CIC and BNP Paribas. The portfolio, held indirectly by the OPCI "ImmoVi II" via dedicated non-trading real estate company (SCI - Société Civile Immobilière) subsidiaries, comprises 10 establishments for the elderly located in France, including eight new assets and two assets to be refurbished, representing a total of nearly 900 beds.
