The 55+ housing market in Canada is underserved. Smart builders who focus on this market can scale their businesses faster.

Our Niche

Why the 55+ market niche?

55+ home buyers have strong financial capacity and fewer homes catered to them specifically. In an uncertain and changing market, you can capitalize on a more stable home buyer base with less direct competition.

77% of 55+ home buyers are looking for aging in place features.

CHBA Canadian Home Buyer Preference National Study, December 2021

Seniors are the fastest growing age group in Canada. Nearly one-third (32.3%) of Canadians are aged 55+.

Statistics Canada, December 2022

Why Franchise?

There is a need for age-targeted communities in Canada, where seniors can live in appropriately-sized homes, socialize with neighbors and access public gathering spaces. Epcon homes are right-sized and are developed within amenity-rich, low-maintenance communities.

Epcon Franchising has exclusive opportunities for builders or developers in Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton. Be the first in your market to grow your business with unique 55+ communities.

“If you want to be a 55+ community developer and haven’t done it before or you’re looking for assistance, then Epcon truly is worth looking into.”

Roger Thomas — Choice Builders, Cedar City, UT

“We’ve gone from becoming a franchisee to breaking ground on our first project in less than a year. A fast track considering we didn’t really have anything to start with other than an idea.”
