Keppel has officially opened its first senior living facility in Asia. Located in Nanjing, China, the 400-bed, purpose-built senior living facility is called Sindora Living Nanjing Qixia.

“Fast-expanding ageing populations are igniting demand for quality senior care services in many parts of the world, especially in Asia. Today, we are pleased to present the flagship project for Sindora Living — Keppel’s senior living brand and operating platform for Asia,” says Louis Lim, CEO of Real Estate at Keppel.

Sindora Living Nanjing Qixia spans a total built-up area of 213,543 sq ft. The property was acquired by Keppel from China Overseas Land & Investment Limited in 2022 when it announced its plans to refit the asset into a premier assisted living community.

The facility also provides day-care and home-care facilities to residents in nearby communities. The development is surrounded by mature residential projects, schools, parks and hospitals, and offers a wide range of activities including preventative, therapeutic and intergenerational activities and trips to local attractions.

In line with Keppel’s commitment to sustainability, the project also features low-carbon, energy-saving and environmentally friendly solutions. It has been certified Gold under the United States Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system.

“The Nanjing facility will serve as a launchpad for our expansion into other senior living markets in China and beyond, and we look forward to creating more communities where seniors can lead active, fulfilling and purposeful lives, while enjoying best-in-class services and care,” says Lim.

Keppel already owns a 50% stake in US-based senior living operator Watermark Retirement Communities, which manages around 70 communities.
