Senior housing
Sustainable investments with social impact
As a pension fund, we manage the pension fund assets entrusted to us securely and profitably so that our insured can enjoy a carefree retirement. The Vita Collective Foundation invests strategically in forward-looking housing and living space. As a competent and sustainable investor, we work in a networked, demand- and impact-oriented manner. We are actively involved, from project development up to (and including) the overall operating phase of a residential complex. Long-term partnerships with communities and local stakeholders, which are based on communal old-age policies, ensure that their concerns are incorporated and that regional value creation is stimulated.
Making impact measurable
As an impact investor, the Vita Collective Foundation gets involved actively and locally – for added value with respect to the social environment in residential complexes, districts, and communities. In this way, we support healthy living for people of all ages. We reduce inequalities by entering into the needs of different population groups. Our innovative, marketable, and target-group-appropriate residential offerings, as well as participative collaboration with local partners, contribute to sustainable economic growth. Together, we create inclusive and hospitable housing developments.
To date, there are no established concepts for measuring social sustainability in this area. We have therefore developed a quantitative measurement concept with the aim of using available data to measure and control the social impact of the residential complexes over the years. A positive effect in terms of costs, space, and the economy can already be seen today. In the medium term, the impact figures can be interpreted in comparison with industry benchmarks.
