Senior living strategy
Greenfield strategy modelling for Asia
An international property developer and leader in senior living property investment and management had identified the senior living healthcare sector in China as an area ripe for investment. They were in the early stages of developing the strategy including quantifying demand, identifying specific regions and service levels, and more broadly trying to determine when and how Chinese consumers would make the transition to utilizing senior living facilities.
The company needed a full assessment of the factors that could impact the business such as competitors, consumer demand for a product that was not readily understood or properly valued and an assessment of the operating challenges of working in China. Critically, it was uncertain that they could acquire prime properties at reasonable prices and there was the nagging issue of judging the timing of Chinese consumer behavior would change to accept the value proposition.
