With India’s senior population growing steadily and lifestyle preferences changing across urban centres, senior living has emerged as a distinct and evolving residential category. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) reports that the population of senior citizens in India aged 80+ will grow by around 279 percent between 2022 and 2050, creating a critical need for housing formats that combine independence, safety, wellness, and community living.
Industry assessments by JLL India and Knight Frank have also highlighted the NCR, including Gurugram, as a key market for organised senior living due to its healthcare infrastructure, connectivity, and social ecosystem.
J Estates’ foray into this segment is motivated by a people-first philosophy, with a strong emphasis on dignity, comfort, and quality of life for senior residents. The company’s approach to senior living focuses on age-sensitive planning, wellness-oriented environments, and socially engaging spaces that encourage independence while offering reassurance and care. Commenting on the development, Anil Godara, Founder and Managing Director, J Estates, said, “Senior living is about more than housing; it is about understanding life stages and responding with empathy and responsibility. Our entry into this segment reflects our conviction that seniors deserve thoughtfully designed environments that foster well-being, social connection, and peace of mind. At J Estates, we see this as a long-term commitment to building with purpose and sensitivity.”
The company’s decision to enter senior living also aligns with its broader commitment to responsible development. J Estates integrates environmental sustainability, inclusivity, and transparent governance into its planning philosophy, ensuring that communities are not only functional but also resilient and future-ready. The company believes that senior living will play an increasingly important role in India’s residential landscape over the coming decade; hence, J Estates aims to contribute meaningfully to the sector by bringing structured planning, thoughtful design, and a deep understanding of resident needs. This initiative adds to the company’s portfolio of previously delivered world-class projects across domains such as integrated townships, commercial complexes, and retail developments.
