ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The national occupancy rate for private-pay seniors housing increased 90 basis points from 82.1 percent in the third quarter of 2022 to 83 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022, according to data from NIC MAP Vision. The occupancy rate has increased 520 basis points from a pandemic low of 77.8 percent in the second quarter of 2021. NIC MAP Vision is a product of the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC), an Annapolis-based nonprofit firm that tracks industry data gathered from 31 primary metropolitan markets. Private-pay seniors housing comprises independent living, assisted living and memory care. The seniors housing occupancy rate increased for the sixth consecutive quarter due to continued strong demand that outpaced inventory growth.

This robust demand led to a new record high total number of occupied units: within the NIC MAP Primary Markets, the total number of occupied …
By Cathy Jones, Founder and CEO, Sun Commercial The 2022 Las Vegas retail market can be characterized by a generally positive outlook and some strong trends, even in the face of market uncertainty. A few of these core trends are quite interesting. Market research shows significant upward trends in asking rents, decreases in vacancy and certain key indicators driving this process. When broken down further, we find that these trends are emphasized in certain geographic areas more than others. The Southwest Las Vegas Valley submarket is seeing the greatest change in growth and development, followed closely by Henderson/Southeast. As an example, 93,592 square feet of retail space was constructed in the third quarter alone in the Southwest and Henderson; 91.2 percent of this space was pre-leased. The current amount of net absorption in the total market is 1.3 million square feet year to date. Half of this annual total occurred in the Southwest and Southeast submarkets. These two markets saw an explosion of growth driven largely by the housing boom. As new developments are constructed and homes sold, retail developments expand to meet that growing demand. There is more compartmentalization, however, than in the past with more community-oriented unanchored strip centers dominating the …
