🎙️ Welcome back to another impacting episode of The Physicians and Properties Podcast with hosts Dr. Alex Schloe and Ryan Byrne.

💡 What if your path to freedom didn’t mean chasing more deals—but aligning purpose, people, and profit in one of the most resilient asset classes in America?

In this episode, Dr. Alex and Ryan pull back the curtain on The Preserve at Rockledge—a 320-home, Class-A active-adult (55+) community on Florida’s booming Space Coast. You’ll hear how their team designed this project to ride the Silver Tsunami—the largest demographic shift in U.S. history—while creating both impact and income for investors.

They unpack why Florida is ground zero for senior housing demand, how the project’s award-winning design and world-class partners—including Kaufman Lynn Construction, Colonial Oaks Senior Living, and Barnett Design Studio—came together, and how a creative capital stack (land contributed as equity + $50M in C-PACE financing) produced one of the cleanest, best risk-mitigated deals they’ve ever offered.

🔥 What you’ll learn:

• The Silver Tsunami opportunity: 77M Boomers, 10,000 turning 65 daily, and why demand isn’t slowing
• Why Florida’s Space Coast is the epicenter of growth and migration for active seniors
• How institutional-grade construction (tunnel-form concrete) ensures quality, speed, and hurricane resilience
• The operational secret behind 95%+ occupancy in Colonial Oaks communities
• How land contribution + C-PACE financing eliminated preferred equity and boosted investor returns
• Base-case financials: ~75% average annual returns, ~41% IRR, and a 4.0× equity multiple in ~4 years
• Multiple exit options: sell, hold, or convert to REIT shares for continued income

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Demographics don’t lie—the senior housing gap is decades wide.
• Aligned incentives (team, capital, mission) create safer, higher-yield projects.
• Design + dignity win: resort-style living for active seniors who value community.
• Conservative underwriting and world-class partners mitigate downside.
• Purpose and profit can coexist—when you build for people, the returns follow.
