Seniors Housing: Recent Trends and Observations An improving economy has supported an increase in move in rates and occupancy levels, as has rising household net worth and expanding penetration rates. Seniors housing market fundamentals continued to generally improve, with rising occupancy rates, improving absorption trends, moderate construction and rising rents. The average age of a new resident has been increasing, as move in decisions have been delayed and acuity levels are rising. Seniors and adult children are seeking one stop shopping for their aging parents, preferring one location for them to age in place. This has increased demand for projects that offer a full continuum of care. Seniors housing was a resilient real estate sector during the economic recession. Need based assisted living product generally held up better than independent living product. REITS remain active buyers of seniors housing portfolios; cap rates for welllocated properties with strong operators are at historic lows. 17
Key Considerations Operator/Partner Experience, History and Performance Strategy Position in the Marketplace Stabilized Property vs Renovation vs New Construction Local and Primary Market Area Conditions Supply and Demand, Vacancy Rates, New Development Pricing Replacement Cost/Price Per Unit Cap Rates Exit Strategy/Market Liquidity Rents/Affordability/Ability to Pay 18
Seniors Housing Market Primary Risks Seniors housing is an operating business and choosing, incentivizing, and managing joint venture relationships with partners and/or operators is critical to the success of the investment Investors need to develop an understanding of the demographics and market fundamentals to ensure that the property attributes are suitable for the resident profile Asset type distinction is becoming blurry with traditional independent living properties offering assisted living options. Hence, detailed attention needs to be paid to determine the competitive set In a difficult market environment, it is important to focus on necessity based (vs. choice based) options 19
Conclusions Strong outlook for market fundamentals, but supply is ramping up in some markets for some property types Solid and relatively stable investment returns Increasing presence of institutional investors REITS are active: continued operator consolidation A range of investment strategies that potentially also diversify a multi asset portfolio A variety of investment options are available Experienced, quality operator is key to mitigating risks and achieving success through various cycles 20
