As demand for senior housing continues to outpace supply, a surprising redevelopment opportunity is emerging across the United States — closed and underutilized college campuses.
This white paper explores how demographic shifts, declining college enrollment, and campus closures are creating new possibilities for senior living developers, investors, and communities.
Drawing from market research, campus conversion case studies, and an analysis of private colleges across the Southeast, the paper presents a practical framework for evaluating campus redevelopment opportunities. Learn how existing residential buildings, dining facilities, walkable environments, and campus infrastructure can support senior living communities while reducing development risk and accelerating project delivery.
Whether you are exploring adaptive reuse strategies, senior housing expansion, or university-based retirement community models, this report provides valuable insights into one of the most promising redevelopment opportunities facing the senior living industry today.
