Senior Housing Is Having Its Strongest Year in a Decade

New research from JLL found that transaction volume reached its highest level since 2015, occupancy has recovered to pre-pandemic levels, and investor confidence in the sector is accelerating.

A few numbers worth noting:

• 89.9% occupancy in primary markets and 90% in secondary markets
• 77% decline in new construction starts in primary markets, further tightening supply
• 36.6% projected growth in the 80+ population over the next decade
• 86% of institutional investors surveyed plan to increase their senior housing exposure in 2026

The opportunity is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

If you joined last Thursday’s webinar, much of this data will sound familiar. We spent the hour discussing the demographic and supply forces driving the sector. Seeing those trends confirmed by independent research only strengthens our conviction.

So, let’s assume we can agree on one thing: senior housing deserves serious attention.

Investors of record by July 31st are on schedule to receive their first distribution in mid-September.

The next question is: Why Aquinas?

Our strategy is straightforward. We acquire mid-market senior living communities where we believe there is an opportunity to improve the physical environment, strengthen operations, and enhance the resident experience.

But our approach goes beyond renovating buildings.

We invest in the people who provide the care. Through enhanced training, career development, and employee benefits, we work to attract and retain great caregivers. We believe that better-supported employees are better positioned to deliver the compassionate, consistent care residents and their families deserve.

That is the operating model we are building across our portfolio of seven communities.

Aquinas Senior Living is targeting a 10% annualized return, distributed monthly. Investors of record by July 31 are scheduled to receive their first distribution in mid-September.

If you believe the demographic and supply fundamentals make senior housing worth a closer look, we invite you to take the next step and review the Aquinas offering.
