Focus on Senior Living
In the U.S., there currently are approximately 23,400 investment grade senior housing and care properties containing 3 million units. The total value of the investment grade senior housing and care property market is estimated at $372 billion. The average age of residents in senior housing is approximately in the mid-80s, while the average move-in age is in the low to mid-80s. The sizes of the 80+ and 85+ populations are expected to increase at a rate of approximately 1.5%-2% annually during the remainder of the decade. The latter part of the 2020s is expected to see the beginning of significant acceleration in this population, with the 80+ population growth rate averaging roughly 4.5% from 2025 through 2029. As such, we believe there are significant opportunities to acquire senior housing property management companies that are positioned for growth. These operating companies may have leasehold and/or fee ownership of senior housing communities.
