Unlocking Alternatives: Investing Beyond the Major CRE Asset Type
SENIOR HOUSING: DEMAND DRIVERS As Baby Boomers continue to age, demand for senior housing assets will grow
• Depending on facility type, average move-in age can for a resident can range from 75 (active) to 83 for assisted living. • The population in the 75+ age range is expected to increase by over 50% in the next twelve years, with current senior housing capacity and expected growth falling far short of demand. • With expected population cohort growth and current senior housing usage, the sector will need to growth annually by 35,000 units. • Construction starts have been constricted due to the lack of liquidity, dropping below 5,000 units started per quarter for the past year. This challenge opens opportunities for those with available capital to begin building out developments to address the substantial oncoming demand. • Affordability remains a challenge, as higher care facility types such as memory care remain out of reach economically to a large segment of the population.
