Senior Housing Influencers - James Knapp

Senior living has been making steady progress after surviving the body blow that the pan-demic delivered in its early days. Occupancy rates, as we note in our feature on page 28, have increased throughout 2022, with rents notching their most rapid increase in more than a decade. And like the larger category of healthcare real estate, investors are eager to buy these well-positioned, recession-resistant assets. And, again, like the larger category of healthcare real estate, this space also comes with challenges that can only be met by the most skilled men and women. On the following pages you will read about some of these professionals, as well as teams and companies that fit this requirement.

Since joining Marcus & Millichap 25 years ago, Jim Knapp has focused on senior housing investment advisory and sales. Knapp is senior managing director of investments based in Detroit, MI, where he has worked since the office opened in 1998. His experience and ability to mentor his fellow agents has been an invaluable asset to the Detroit office, as well as the firm.
