In episode 151, Garrett sits down with Walt Chancey of Chancey Architecture and Interior Design to explore the evolution of senior living from traditional nursing homes to lifestyle-driven communities that feel more like resorts. They discuss the demand surge known as the “Silver Tsunami,” the challenges of zoning and financing, and why Florida is at the center of this transformation. From pickleball courts and restaurants to affordable housing models, Walt explains how developers can meet the needs of an aging population while creating vibrant, multi-generational communities.
