Senior Housing
Value Opportunity or Structural Challenge?
11:20 AM - 12:10 AM | Canopy B | Breakout Session
Panel Directors: Lucie Tao MAUD ‘26
This panel examines the key challenges and opportunities shaping senior housing from investment, development, and operating perspectives. Despite strong demographic tailwinds, senior housing carries a distinct risk–return profile due to its operational intensity, with performance driven by labor dynamics, cost structures, care models, and capital markets. The discussion will explore how these forces intersect to shape long-term value creation.
