Retirement Villages Market Review 2021
Our 9th JLL whitepaper is based on JLL New Zealand’s Retirement Village and Aged Care databases and provides a snapshot of the industry for 2020.
With the onset of the COVID pandemic in early 2020, the past year has been challenging for many and this has been particularly pronounced for Retirement Villages and Aged Care facilities that house some of our most vulnerable.
Overall, the industry has performed remarkably well compared to some other first world countries in protecting residents and providing safe communities during periods of ‘lockdown’.
The performance of the sector throughout these uncertain times, the residential property boom in the second half of 2020, and the country’s ageing population saw many Retirement Village operators receive high levels of enquiry and end the year with limited vacant stock.
