The opportunity

Why senior living and why now

Demographics are creating steady, needs-driven demand for quality senior housing. The advantage goes to people who understand the numbers, the regulations and the care model before they commit capital.

01

An aging population

The U.S. population aged 85 and older is projected to nearly double between 2020 and 2040.

02

Demand driven by need

More than half of Americans turning 65 today are expected to need long term care services at some point in their lives.

03

Knowledge is the real barrier

Licensing, zoning, staffing and marketing differ by state and property type. The Academy shortens that learning curve.

Shahid Imran, the visionary behind BSL Academy

At just 16, Shahid moved from Pakistan to the United States with big goals. He learned a new language and culture while working multiple jobs, then built a career in the medical supply industry.
After selling his share in a successful company, he followed his passion into senior living development. Today, as CEO and Managing Director of Build Senior Living, he has developed senior living communities across the U.S. — and his mission is to help others follow that path.
