Manor Independent Living: EGRE’s Strategic Entry into Affordable Senior Housing
Manor Independent Living represents EGRE’s inaugural venture into
age-restricted, affordable senior housing, marking a significant milestone in the firm’s commitment to delivering innovative real estate solutions that meet evolving demographic needs. Designed as an independent living community for seniors, Manor aligns with EGRE’s broader strategy of creating Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH)—a critical segment of the market often underserved by traditional housing models.
As the nationwide demand for senior housing continues to surge, the "missing middle" remains the most pressing gap—seniors who are not eligible for subsidized housing yet cannot afford high-end retirement communities. Manor Independent Living in Fort Worth, Texas, directly addresses this need by offering a high-quality, living experience at attainable rental rates.
Residents benefit from thoughtfully designed amenities, a comprehensive daily Activity Program, and supportive services including three meals per day, seven days a week, scheduled transportation, wellness initiatives, and more—all within one inclusive rental package. This model not only ensures affordability but fosters community, dignity, and independence for older adults.
As EGRE continues to expand its real estate portfolio, Manor stands as a model for scalable, sustainable senior housing that serves both community needs and long-term investor value.
