Sale details and financial outcome

The deal transferred more than 5,000 homes for a total consideration of €1.050 billion. The assets belonged to the socimi that Blackstone owned through Fidere.

From the start of 2026 to the closing date, the socimi posted a profit of €519 million, reversing a loss of €4.5 million recorded at the end of 2025, according to filings on BME Growth.

Disposal proceeds amounted to €496.5 million. Adding operating revenue of €24.7 million yielded a gross operating result of €520.4 million after deducting provisions and other operating costs.

Based on that performance, the board proposed an interim dividend of €492.3 million for the current fiscal year.
