Healthpeak Properties Nears Seniors Housing Exit

Healthpeak Properties has nearly completed its exit from the rental seniors housing business, selling another $1 billion of assets in the first quarter of 2021, according to its latest earnings release.

At $564 million, or $540,750 per unit, it represents the largest deal of the quarter. And considering Healthpeak’s haste to get out, commanding that sort of per-unit... Read More »

Senior Living Residents Will Demand Choice

Senior Living Residents Will Demand Choice

As we near the end of this decade, we wonder what new trials will face the seniors housing industry in the next 10 years. In the past decade, the industry has emerged from the throes of the Great Recession, gone through a construction boom that led to intense competition for labor and residents, and seen the rise of both memory care and active adult communities complementing the more traditional senior living sectors. But, the 2020s will bring new challenges, one of which will be how the industry can attract a greater share of seniors, including the baby boomers. With home health care improving its care offerings and other technological advances making it easier for seniors to stay in... Read More »
