In this episode, Sandy MacKay explores if Canada is entering a "golden era" for investing in seniors housing, drawing insights from Cushman & Wakefield's report. He delves into the challenges developers face, such as rising construction costs and limited land, while discussing stabilized operating costs and shifting generational attitudes post-pandemic. Sandy highlights the importance of choosing the right operator and examines prime site locations, including Ontario Land Tribunal's approvals. He also shares investment insights and property highlights in Dallas and Frisco, covering notable transactions in Denton County. The episode wraps up with closing remarks and gratitude.
