Target market size of operational real estate in the UK in 2019, by asset class

In 2019, there were nearly 5.7 million people aged over 75 in the United Kingdom, which made retirement living the largest segment in the operational (co-living) real estate sector by potential market size. Nevertheless, purpose built student accommodation (PBSA) was the segment with largest investment volume in 2018. Purpose-built residential buildings are different by design compared to for-sale residential buildings. They suggest more communal space and facilities which can be shared by the site residents.

2019年，英国75岁以上的老年人接近570万人，使得退休居住成为运营（共居）房地产领域中，按潜在市场规模计算的最大细分市场。尽管如此，在2018年，专门为学生建造的住宿设施（PBSA）在投资规模上占据了最大的份额。与销售型住宅建筑相比，专门建造的住宅建筑在设计上有所不同，它们倾向于提供更多可供现场居民共享的公共空间和设施。
