How can we make affordable rental homes for seniors in the mid-market segment a tangible part of the housing delivery challenge? Despite growing demand and available investment capacity, the roll-out of senior living projects remains behind schedule. In this session, we discuss what is needed to scale this segment: from public direction and programming to investment viability and residential quality. We also cover the role of housing concepts, as well as the importance of communities and health & well-being for future-proof living environments.
Around the table are Chris Kuijpers (Ministry of VRO), Robert-JanFoortse (APG AM), Frank Aalbers (CBRE IM) and Bart Mispelblom Beyer (Tangram Architekten). The discussion is led by Paul Oremus (CBRE IM) and brings together perspectives from government, investors, asset management and design.

The fiscal threshold for foreign pension funds and insurers to invest in the Dutch housing market must be significantly lowered. That is the view of Mark Siezen, CEO of asset manager Bouwinvest. 'Foreign capital is absolutely essential to meet the enormous housing construction challenge. That requires a stable housing policy and fiscal climate. I am hopeful: the new minister recognises this and will act on it.'
