Don’t Box Them In: Strategies for Mixed-Use Development in Senior Living

Don’t box them in.

More than ever before, seniors today seek innovative housing models for their golden years. They want walkable access to retail, health care and entertainment. They want a connection to the outdoors and an intergenerational community. They want to be near loved ones and remain in or near the region they’ve always called home.
