The Retirement Shift: Why Tucson Is Winning And The Economic Impact Behind It

Retiree migration is reshaping real estate and investment opportunities across Southern Arizona, with Tucson and Oro Valley emerging as increasingly attractive markets. This program explores the retirement shift through a financial and development lens, examining how senior living communities are conceived, capitalized, and brought to market amid changing demographic and economic conditions. Bryan Schachter, Founder of Celly Senior Living, will provide insight into large scale senior housing development, including planning considerations, financing structures, and evolving risk factors as the market matures. Complementing this perspective, Visit Tucson will discuss Tucson’s positioning as a retirement destination and the broader economic implications—ranging from population growth and real estate demand to long term regional expansion and investment opportunity.

This event meets on FRIDAY, April 17.
