Senior Living ‘Knocking On’ Record-High Occupancy Levels in Coming Years, Propelling Investor Interest

The senior housing sector is poised for record-high occupancy levels in the coming years, attracting bullish investor interest. Investment firms like AEW are prioritizing senior housing in their strategies, as experts predict strong demand fueled by demographic shifts and limited new construction. With occupancy rates on the rise and NOI margins improving, the outlook for senior housing investment remains positive. Absorption rates are expected to outpace new construction, providing a clear gap between supply and demand. As the industry gains recognition as a standalone sector in investment benchmarks, opportunities for new capital formation are emerging. With senior housing assets valued at billions of dollars, firms like AEW are leading the way in investing in this growing market.
