With Seniors Housing Positioned for Growth, Financing Activity Begins to Stir

by Sarah Daniels

Slowly but surely, the performance of seniors housing assets is improving. While rent growth in 2022 in the sector represented a period of catch-up after the pandemic stymied the ability of operators to raise lease rates, continuing rent increases in 2023 began contributing to more meaningful net operating income recovery, according to Walker & Dunlop’s recently released Seniors Housing Outlook report. Now, seniors housing owners are positioned for a sustained period of significant revenue expansion amid improving occupancy and a shortfall of new inventory, reports the Bethesda, Maryland-based commercial real …

Exclusive NIC Conference Coverage: High Occupancies Help Make Active Adult the Belle of the Ball

by Channing Hamilton

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A key performance metric helps explain why the active adult segment of seniors housing remains an investment darling. Among the nearly 800 properties and more than 116,000 units tracked nationally by NIC MAP Vision, the occupancy rate is 93 percent. By comparison, the occupancy rate for seniors housing properties (independent and assisted living) is in the high 80s. What makes that 93 percent occupancy even more significant is that it includes active adult properties that either recently opened or are in lease-up mode.  “If you look at properties that …
