The $150 Billion Senior Living Opportunity

Talking Property with CBRE

Show Notes

Australia's senior living sector is attracting growing investor attention as demographic trends, housing supply pressures and increased institutional capital reshape the market.

In this episode of Talking Property with CBRE, host Kathryn House is joined by Daniel Mrsnik from Aware Super and Paul Martin, Acting CEO of Keyton, to discuss why retirement living is emerging as one of Australia's most compelling real estate opportunities.

Key discussion points:

Australia's senior living sector remains one of the country's least institutionalised real estate sectors.

Investors are increasingly focused on scale, consolidation opportunities and platform ownership in retirement living.

How demographic tailwinds and limited new supply are creating long-term growth opportunities for operators and investors.

Why more established retirement living models in the US, including rental and active lifestyle offerings, could provide a roadmap for future innovation in Australia.
