Real Estate Social Infrastructure Coming of Age
Investors are increasingly turning their attention to real estate social infrastructure sectors such as childcare, seniors housing (manufactured housing, retirement villages and aged care), student accommodation, government premises (police stations, courthouses, etc), medical and health facilities as legitimate investment options.
Much of the real estate media focus is on large office buildings, major shopping centres and infrastructure assets like toll roads and ports. Social infrastructure features solid demand drivers, the evolution of tenants from cottage industry operators and attractive investment characteristics. We expect real estate social infrastructure (both listed and unlisted) to attract more longer-term investment capital and become a viable component of many more real estate investment portfolios.
