Management explicitly noted that senior housing is attracting more competition as capital flows in, with a 'drifting down in cap rates' and recent acquisitions reported at sub-7%. However, they believe their scale, relationships (70%+ repeat operators, 50%+ repeat sellers), and operating platform give an advantage to continue sourcing deal flow at attractive risk-adjusted yields.
“Clearly, it hasn't slowed us down at all given how, you know, strongly we're positioned. There's a drifting down in cap rates. You can see it, you know, in our stuff.”
New senior housing starts are at extraordinary lows (~2,500 units in Q4 2025 vs. >2M people turning 80 in 2026), and management emphasizes a multi-year supply/demand imbalance. Construction costs remain prohibitive, and rents need to rise 20-30% before development becomes economically viable, pushing out the next wave of new supply.
Management reported that 2026 marked the beginning of their in-house rent optimization, with assumed in-house rent increases of 8%, up from 7% the previous year. They note that RevPAU is about two-thirds of the in-house rent increase, implying that revenue growth has a solid, predictable tailwind independent of occupancy growth.

Got it. Thanks for that. And we kind of touched on this a little bit, but just maybe ask more discreetly, you know, you talked a little bit about competition, you know, the portfolio, some of the blended cap rates of your acquisitions to start the year were So, and I know historically, it's kind of been in that 7% to 8%. So, like, should we expect, you know, kind of being remaining the year in that like sub 7% range? Or, you know, and that shifting down and say 50 basis points like six and a half to seven and a half versus seven to eight that may be historically just trying to get a sense of where the market has moved. Thanks.
Well, you know, it's not surprising given the quality of this asset class that there's a lot of interest in it. So, there certainly is more competition. Clearly, it hasn't slowed us down at all given how, you know, strongly we're positioned. There's a drifting down in cap rates. You can see it, you know, in our stuff. You know, we reported under seven. And, you know, I would say, you know, we'll report our expectations as we close deals moving forward.

Hi, everyone. I just have a quick question on development. I guess once you think it would start to pick up, albeit off of a low level, and then how would Ventas like to participate? Would you like to lend developer just waiting by afterwards?
Okay, good question. We like acquisitions. We like buying durable, well-established, in-place cash flow that will grow. That's been our priority from an investment standpoint. In terms of development, first of all, we think rents need to be 20% to 30% higher, and that's even at a relatively modest development yield. This is a tremendously well-supported business, though, in every way, as we described on the earnings call. And so it's very reasonable to expect that there will be new supply. We would also expect that the first to come to, you know, that you would see announced in terms of starts would be ultra premium products. And that's a product that is so differentiated in terms of price when they enter a market that they're well positioned to be the price leader. So that would be the kind of the exception that you would see come early. But it's still going to take some time. You know, rents need to catch up. And when they do, as Debbie mentioned, you have a three-year runway. And when that supply opens, you're hitting, you know, this tremendous amount of demand. So we really, really like the outlook in that regard.

Good morning. Thanks for the time. One question on the acceleration in rev4 growth expected in 26. Is this a function of assets that were already seen good growth growing even quicker or more properties that were laggard starting to catch up? Any color on where that step up in growth is coming from would be helpful.
Yeah, it's really – yeah, sure. And it's really just broad-based, and it's primarily driven – one of the biggest drivers is obviously in-house rent increases. And to have that be around 8% versus around 7% a year ago is a big – a big boost to Rev4. And we always like to use a really simple rule, oversimplified rule of thumb. And that is that Rev4 is two-thirds of the in-house rent increase amount. So that puts you at just under 5%. But we're also seeing, you know, solid underlying trends in terms of moving rents as well. So honestly, this is another category that just kind of seems like we're at the beginning here. And we're pleased with the results. But, you know, as we as we move ahead into this strong demand environment. We look forward to performing even better on that front.
