Senior Housing

Housing for older people is becoming an increasingly important part of the Dutch housing market. The home for older people of the future is more than just a place to live. It is a vibrant environment where connection and well-being are central. We support investors, developers and care organisations in creating future-proof housing concepts that meet this growing need.

We offer a fully integrated platform for the sale of housing for the elderly, concept development, property financing, investment banking and valuation services.

Due to demographic trends, demand for high-quality housing for older people is set to rise sharply in the coming years. More and more older people are looking for a living environment that combines independence with a sense of community. A place where comfort and accessibility are a given, and where care is close at hand when needed. We bring together the interests of investors, developers, local authorities, and care and housing organisations, always with a focus on the end user.

Solutions for investors and developers

Got a property issue?

Senior housing requires a well-thought-out strategy that combines demographic trends, location analysis and operational models. CBRE assists investors and developers in identifying promising locations, optimising returns and designing market-driven concepts that cater to the diverse housing needs of older people, ranging from independent living to clustered living arrangements with care support.

We guide the entire transaction process, from purchase and sale to structuring and negotiation, ensuring that deals are concluded efficiently and on optimal terms. Through thorough market research, financial modelling and in-depth knowledge of regulations, we support informed decision-making throughout the entire property lifecycle.

A one-sided focus does not lead to progress

The government’s current approach focuses almost exclusively on building affordable housing for older people. However, this does not reflect the actual housing preferences of older people. In which market segment are older people looking, and what are their preferences in each region?
