Investment Philosophy

Dignify aging in Mexico, build hospitality-led senior communities, and deliver resilient returns.

Our vision is that families in Mexico will increasingly embrace senior living, moving past the stigma of abandonment tied to asilos (nursing homes). Demographics make this a necessity, not a luxury. Meanwhile, saturated and costly U.S. options will drive many seniors to retire in Mexico at a fraction of the cost and with a superior experience. Our two-pronged approach is based on domestic-driven demand and the growing potential from expat retirees, particularly from the U.S. and Canada, who are attracted by affordability, proximity, and Mexico’s strong caregiving culture.

Secular Trends

Kaab’s thesis is backed by the following 6 secular themes:

  1. Demographics drive structural demand. Mexico’s 75+ population will triple by 2050, representing a much larger share of the nation’s demographic profile. At the same time, longer life expectancy amongst elders and shrinking family caregiver capacity makes institutional senior living solutions not just desirable, but inevitable.
  2. A severe supply gap persists. Nationwide, there are only ~1,500 institutional-grade units in communities with 60+ beds, serving an addressable market of ~4.5 million adults aged 75+. This translates to fewer than 1 unit per 3,000 seniors — a penetration rate below 0.01%, among the lowest in the world.
  3. Cost and service advantage is unmatched. Mexico combines a strong caregiving talent pool and hospitality-driven culture with operating costs far below U.S. benchmarks. This enables delivery of higher-quality services, healthier margins, and accessible pricing for both local and international seniors.
  4. Cross-border demand is growing. A rising pool of U.S. Latinos with cultural ties and financial means are looking south for care solutions. Mexico’s proximity, direct flights, and safety in key cities make relocation to purpose-built senior living communities both practical and attractive.
  5. Macro tailwinds and capital inflows support growth. Mexico is a top beneficiary of nearshoring and resilient U.S. trade ties. Global investors are increasingly focused on Mexican real assets, with record-breaking FDI of US$34.2B in the first half of 2025. The macro runway for investment is long.
  6. Cultural mindset shift is underway. Senior living in Mexico has historically carried stigma, but this is changing. Younger generations facing dual pressures — aging parents and modern work-life demands — are more open to professional solutions. Early adopters, rising awareness, and better designed communities are accelerating cultural acceptance.

Execution Strategy

Kaab is pursuing a dual strategy that combines the acquisition of existing senior living assets with potential for operational, financial, and experiential improvement, alongside the development of ground-up, build-to-suit communities designed to meet unmet market demand. This approach allows us to unlock value quickly through M&A opportunities while simultaneously creating purpose-built, next-generation assets that set new standards for quality, design, and care in Mexico.
