• Rapid biotech advances, an ageing population, and record investment levels are creating huge demand for life science real estate.  
• Recent transactions and trends in public markets suggests superior total returns and asset pricing for life science relative to other real estate sub-sectors.

• The life science sector has strong recession-resistant credentials (in terms of occupancy and NOI performance), although conditions in individual markets can vary depending on supply considerations. 
• An increased allocation to life science property may improve long-term performance and risk-adjusted returns for real estate portfolios. 
• In our view, given current pricing of completed stock and current supply levels, investors should be able to capture a healthy premium via financing development of new life science real estate. 
• Additionally, it provides investors the opportunity to contribute to the growth of an industry that will be vitally important to society over the coming decades.

• Retirement Communities offer a great combination of various income streams alongside capital growth opportunities, compared to other traditional asset classes 
• Senior living appears resilient to the impact of Covid 19 and has not diminished investor appetite, with attractive yields still apparent 
• Recent research by Knight Frank detailed a £1.40bn investment in the UK for housing with care in 2021 – an increase on the previous year – and a further £1.85bn has been committed for investments in the sector in 2022 

Senior living has been a recurring discussion for a long time and while it may seem as though it is progressing more slowly than it should, the appetite from the investment community combined with the positive market dynamics will inevitably lead to it becoming one of the most critical asset classes globally from a socio-economic standpoint.
