Why Senior Housing, and Why Now?

Senior housing sits at the intersection of real estate, operations, healthcare, hospitality, and community. For real estate leaders familiar with multifamily, build-to-rent, active adult, hospitality, or related sectors, senior housing offers familiar fundamentals with a distinct and growing demand profile.

Demographics Are Driving Demand

Aging demographics, longer life spans, and growing demand for housing and support are creating long-term sector opportunity.

Supply Is Not Keeping Pace

Projections show the senior housing sector needing roughly 100,000 new units per year over the next several years to keep up with demand.

Strong Sector Performance

Senior housing has renewed momentum, with occupancy growth outperforming other major CRE sectors and recent returns exceeding other NCREIF property types.
