NAHB Forming 20 Club for Seniors Housing Professionals

NAHB is forming a 20 Club for single-family and multifamily builders, developers and architects involved in 50+ seniors housing.

NAHB’s 20 Clubs serve as a networking opportunity for CEOs, presidents, owners, principals and partners in the building industry. NAHB members meet with other industry leaders from non-competing markets whose companies are similar in size to exchange ideas and develop business, strategic and marketing plans that position their companies for success.

“The networking and education in a 20 Club is second to none,” said Randy Rinehart, a custom builder from Charlottesville, VA, who specializes in universally designed homes. “It allows the owners and decision-makers from companies to exchange information, find out what others are doing across the country and pick up ways to improve operations and increase their bottom line. The best way to learn is through others’ experiences.”

NAHB currently offers 20 Clubs for custom, production and small volume builders and remodelers. The 50+ market is the fastest growing segment of the housing industry. With the influx of the boomer generation, the demand for active adult and seniors communities is greater than ever.

“Seniors housing is a unique market in itself,” said Rinehart, chair of NAHB’s 20 Clubs and a trustee for the NAHB Seniors Housing Council. “It’s important for companies who serve the 50+ consumer to have the latest information. 20 Clubs allow members to share information, look for trouble spots, and receive valuable advice on how to increase profits and improve their performance.”
