A Focus on Empty Nesters

Empty nester homes are investments in stored memories. That is why it is so hard to make the decision to leave them. At CRC, we are originating new ideas to provide exciting places to live for transitioning lifestyles. To think about this, we tapped into focus groups of empty nesters and an unexpected source: young minds. Through research and development studies with the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Maryland, we are harnessing students’ fresh perspectives to spatially, technologically, and creatively rethink how to put fresh ideas in to the new needs and wants of this ever-growing population. The results are starting to show at new projects like Ocean Beachfront Villas in San Diego and Ten Select in Arlington, Virginia.
