The move aligns with India’s shifting demographic profile, as the senior population continues to rise steadily. According to UNFPA estimates, India’s population aged 80 and above is projected to grow by nearly 279 per cent between 2022 and 2050, driving demand for specialised, age-appropriate housing solutions. Industry assessments by JLL and Knight Frank have also identified NCR as a key market for organised senior living due to its healthcare infrastructure, connectivity, and social ecosystem.

J Estates’ senior living projects will focus on wellness-oriented design, safety, accessibility and community engagement. The developments aim to offer residents an environment that balances independence with support, incorporating age-sensitive planning, social spaces, and wellness-driven amenities.

Our entry into this segment reflects our long-term commitment to building communities that respond meaningfully to evolving lifestyle needs.”
