New England to Host Fall 50+ Housing Symposium Nov. 3-4
Builders, developers, architects and other seniors housing professionals will examine New England’s burgeoning active adult and age-targeted housing market as well as national trends at the first-ever "Northeast Regional Fall Symposium: Keys to Success in the 50+ Market."
The symposium will be held on Nov. 3-4 at the Gillette Stadium Conference Center in Foxboro, MA.
Sponsored by the 50-Plus New England Housing Council, one of the NAHB Seniors Housing Council’s local councils, the symposium will feature regional speakers from the six-state area as well as nationally recognized industry professionals who will discuss how to attract today’s mature consumers to New England, one of the country’s fastest-growing active adult markets.
“This new symposium allows attendees to expand their industry knowledge, especially about consumers in the New England market,” said Bonnie Solomon, chair of the NAHB Seniors Housing Council. “The active adult industry is constantly evolving. It’s important for builders, developers and other housing professionals to stay on top of the market.”
“In the past, seniors would migrate to warm-weather states such as Arizona and Florida upon retirement, but more of them are staying closer to home,” said Jane O’Connor, co-chair of the 50-Plus New England Housing Council. She is also the managing editor for Mature Living Choices and CEO of 55 Plus, LLC, in Hawley, MA. “New England exemplifies this national trend, with dozens of active adults springing up from Connecticut to Maine. The market demand is there, and builders are starting to respond to it.”
