**1.6 Yields**

Investment and development opportunities for healthcare real estate become apparent when compared to other real estate segments such as offices, retail, residential and logistics. A comparison of gross initial yields of these different real estate segments with healthcare real estate in 2015 indicates (Syntrus Achmea Real Estate & Finance & CBRE ([21], p. 14). This is based on top yields only. It is important to note that the bandwidth of initial yields can be very large) that the yields may look as follows compared to traditional segments (**Figure 8**).

These yields show that the different ranges of four healthcare real estate segments are similar and sometimes higher than those of offices, retail, residential and logistics. Transactions at the top of extramural real estate therefore appear to be comparable to returns of residential properties. In cure and care, returns are higher than those of traditional real estate segments.
