SENIOR LIVING:
THE FACTS
Superior Performance
Since 2005, senior housing has outperformed other property types on the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (NCREIF) Index in terms of appreciation, income and total return.
High-Growth Industry
The senior housing sector has been able to achieve higher rental rate growth year-over-year than any other commercial property designation.
Recession Proof
During the Great Recession and over the last fifteen years - the total return for senior housing has outperformed all other sectors. This is primarily due to the fact that it is a needs-based business.
Intense Demand
Over two and a half million Americans now reside in senior care facilities and this number is expected to double by 2040. New unit demand will increase from 25,000 units per year to 100,000 per year by 2030.
