Underbuilt and Overneeded: The Case for Investment in Senior Housing

The senior housing sector is currently facing a growing imbalance between supply and demand.

• New construction starts represent just 0.8% of existing inventory, which is the lowest level in more than 15 years
• Quarterly construction activity has dropped from an average of 3,700 new units (2022–2024) to roughly 2,200 projected for 2025
• Occupancy rates are trending higher with expectations they could approach the mid-90% range in coming years

At the same time, the U.S. population aged 75 and older is entering a period of rapid growth, creating steady, needs-based demand for modern senior housing. Meeting that demand will require significant private investment to develop and upgrade communities.
