Senior housing & care homes – stable investments in a growing market
We advise on senior housing, nursing homes and care-sector real estate for pension funds, institutional investors and family offices. The segment is driven by strong demographic demand – the Danish 80+ population is ca. 356,000 (2025) and is expected to grow to well above 510,000 by 2040.
Why is the senior segment attractive?
Supply of modern senior housing and care homes is constrained while demand rises. This delivers stable cash flow, low vacancy and long leases – typically 15-25 years. We see rising institutional interest, particularly from pension funds and capital groupsseeking non-cyclical real estate assets as part of their allocation. Major Danish investors like Sampension and Northern Horizon have executed several acquisitions in the sector, and we expect continued consolidation and portfolio trading.

Demographic drivers
Discretion, experience and trusted relationships
Supply of modern, contemporary nursing homes and senior housing does not grow at the same pace as demand. This creates a long-term investment case with low cyclical sensitivity and attractive return profiles.
