The senior housing market has arguably seen more drastic ups and downs than any other commercial property sector.
Seniors' demand for updated, luxury senior homes who wanted an active lifestyle, downsizing, and high-tech amenities has led to almost instant results from investors and developers in recent years.
As industry stakeholders met the growing demand for state-of-the-art, convenience-filled independent and supportive housing facilities across the country, professionals over-prepped the market for the aging baby boomer population. This leads to overbuilding and oversupply within the sector.
With a dramatic spike in developments, the senior housing sector saw the highest volume of transactions in four years in the first quarter of 2020, according to a JLL research report. Many investors identify adult assisted living and active living or independent living as the best investment opportunity.
However, this high level of market interest was soon followed by the unfortunate, overwhelming impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that the senior housing sector is currently grappling with along with the rest of the industry.
Given the devastating decline in occupancy in the industry, industry professionals are quick to find solutions to stabilize the market and are faced with the task of quickly implementing innovative solutions to ensure that the loved ones of the people in their living environment remain safe, healthy and satisfied.
In addition to meeting social distancing parameters through creative strategies, these professionals are prioritizing the integration of healthcare technology and tenant-centric digital communication systems into existing and future facilities.
Taking into account the changing needs of tenants and the pre-pandemic fundamentals of the sector, Senior Housing Professionals constantly steer the factors in the uncertain future of the market.
In an effort to recognize the excellence of the work in the sector, GlobeSt. The Real Estate Forum aims to put the spotlight on the professionals who help shape the real estate market for senior housing. Our Influencers in Senior Housing Real Estate range will introduce not only the pioneers who made an impact with their individual efforts, but also teams and entire organizations that are vital to the industry.
The power of influence is enormous and influencers deliver such a clout that they are able to bring about change through direct and mostly indirect action. These are the people, teams, and companies who have had a recognizable and significant impact on the business. Be it through their contributions to the industry, the numerous successes they have had in closing deals and projects, or the innovations and best practices they have introduced into the company Influencing factors of commercial real estate in the retirement home.
