DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE
A market with great growth opportunities
Demographic change has Germany in its grip. More and more people are getting older. An ageing population has changing needs: All these senior citizens need suitable living space and care facilities – which are already in short supply today. This creates many challenges for developers, investors and operators. This is because demand for real estate that is suitable for senior citizens will continue to grow for decades. And even today, too little is being invested in senior living properties – now is the time to set the right course for more age-appropriate living space.
REAL ESTATE NICHE
A highly complex market
Nursing and senior living properties are still a niche market. And for good reason – the high regulatory requirements of the care and healthcare sector often apply. In some cases, they already apply to the construction of senior living properties, and in the case of care services, there are also numerous questions regarding letting, operation and long-term financing. This can inhibit investment in the sector – but it doesn’t have to. With the help of combined expertise in real estate and operations, senior living projects can be realized sustainably and with a long-term perspective.

RESOURCES & REFINANCING
A market with structural challenges
The care sector as a whole is facing several structural challenges. Two of these are a lack of resources and refinancing structures. How can we tackle the shortage of skilled nursing staff? And how can a stable financial and operational foundation be created on the operator side, also in cooperation with the cost units? Innovative solutions are required, such as new intersectoral care structures or the qualification of career changers and international talent. This requires networked knowledge from different disciplines, sound data, sharp analyses and a portion of courage.
