Auna and EsSalud Finalize Addendum to Commence Construction of Torre Trecca in Lima, Which Will Become Peru’s Largest Outpatient Facility
The execution of the addendum is an important milestone for the project and formally authorizes the commencement of construction of Torre Trecca, a 23-story, high-complexity outpatient healthcare facility. The facility will encompass approximately 59,000 square meters of built area, 145 consultation offices, and 43 treatment rooms. Upon its completion, Torre Trecca is expected to expand EsSalud’s healthcare capacity in metropolitan
The PPP will establish an obligation to provide an increasing number of outpatient services to EsSalud’s population at Torre Trecca. The initial year of operation is anticipated to commence in mid-2028 with 600,000 patient services, which are expected to expand annually until the PPP’s termination in 2046, although it can be renewed and extended to 2064. The facility will offer a comprehensive range of outpatient and diagnostic service packages, encompassing ambulatory care packages, preventive care programs, specialized procedures, ambulatory emergency services, surgical risk assessment packages, and advanced imaging services, including diagnostic interpretation and MRI procedures.
The Torre Trecca project is structured under a concession framework and implemented through a dedicated project vehicle, with financing, assets and cash flow at the project level, and provides for an initial 20-year term, renewable for an additional 18 years. The contractual design segregates construction risk from operational risk through distinct payment mechanisms and ring-fenced cash flows. Under the PPP framework, once the facility is operational, EsSalud will provide a guaranteed minimum monthly payment through the issuance of certificates, which will cover fixed costs and operational services, resulting in a highly predictable revenue stream for Auna. Notably, the project requires only a limited upfront investment from Auna, as construction capital expenditures are reimbursed by EsSalud through progress certificates issued upon the achievement of defined construction milestones. These certificates are freely transferable and monetized with third parties, at the implicit sovereign credit rating of
Consorcio Trecca, a subsidiary of Auna and operator of the concession, has secured financing providers and construction activities are expected to progress throughout 2026 and 2027, with the facility projected to begin operations in 2028.
