We believe senior housing is positioned to benefit from one of the most powerful demographic trends of our time: the aging of the Baby Boomer generation.

According to Moody’s, the 80+ population is projected to grow by nearly 7.8 million seniors through 2035, an annual growth rate of 4.2%, compared to just 0.1% for those under 80. This shift is expected to create sustained demand for senior housing communities that provide care and lifestyle solutions for an aging population.
