With 30.5% of the population over the age of 65 in 2039, Spain is at the forefront of investing in health. Find out more below.

In a world increasingly aware of demographic and social changes, Spain is facing one of its most profound transformations: the aging of its population. Projections by the National Statistics Institute (INE) warn that by 2039, 30.5% of Spaniards will be over 65 years old and the number of people over 80 will grow by 47.5%, exceeding 4.35 million. In addition, the number of centenarians will almost triple, from 17,000 to more than 46,000.
This panorama places Spain as one of the longest-living countries in the world, and at the same time, one of the countries facing the greatest challenges in terms of healthcare infrastructure, care for dependent persons and adapted housing. In this context, investments that respond to this new population reality are not only necessary, but also highly profitable.
The aging population is generating a new market: the "silver economy", an economic ecosystem that revolves around the needs of the elderly. This segment of the population is not only growing rapidly, but also has significant purchasing power and a growing demand for specialized services.
According to the INE, in 2024 there are already more than 10 million people over the age of 65 in Spain, a figure that will reach 16 million by 2050. In parallel, the average household size continues to decrease, with a third of households projected by 2039 to be single-person households, many of them made up of older women. All this reinforces the urgent need for adapted housing and medico-social care models.

Against this backdrop, Crear Abrigho emerges as a pioneering project that combines real estate development, health and social welfare. Located in Albacete, one of the cities with the highest rate of aging in Spain, Crear Abrigho is a center of reference and excellence in residential care, focused on geriatric intermediate care and social-health services associated with a hospital.
The complex consists of:
The center features advanced technology such as radar fall detection systems, continuous digital monitoring, emergency callers and solutions that ensure the safety and comfort of residents.
The headquarters of Crear Abrigho is located in a 75,000 m2 wooded plot just 1 kilometer from the center of Albacete. Its proximity to key institutions such as the Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro University Hospital, the University of Albacete, the Science and Technology Park, the Airbus logistics hub, and the Albacete Airport, position it as a strategic node for social and healthcare development in the region.
Crear Abrigho offers a robust, secure and profitable investment opportunity:
In addition, the model is structured in such a way that the return starts from the beginning of the hospital's operation, with staggered and flexible payments, which facilitates access to different investor profiles.
The social and healthcare sector in Spain is not only booming, but is also protected by the state. In most cases, users pay according to their income level and the rest is financed by the Administration. This structure minimizes the risk of non-payment and guarantees high occupancy of the centers.
In addition to this, there is a structural deficit of socio-health and geriatric places in the country, which ensures the sustained demand for this type of infrastructure. In communities such as Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León and Galicia -the most aged in the country-, this need is particularly urgent.
The project is being marketed by Nolab, a firm specializing in real estate with a focus on differentiated, high-value assets. The development is led by Adapta Socios, a business group with presence in Spain and Mexico, and more than 200 million euros under management in real estate assets in the Living, Hospitality and Health sectors.
With more than 25 active projects and an ecosystem of specialized companies, Adapta Socios ensures the execution and integral operation of Crear Abrigho, providing confidence and solidity to investors.
Crear Abrigho represents a new generation of real estate investments: those that generate social impact, are aligned with global megatrends and ensure long-term profitability. In a scenario where population aging is irreversible, models like this are not only desirable, but essential.
Investing in Crear Abrigho and Nolab is to invest in the future of health, in the dignity of old age, in the welfare of thousands of families, and at the same time, to ensure a passive, sustained and shielded income against market fluctuations.

For years, to talk about investing in CDMX was to talk about opportunities. Today, more and more, it means talking about strategy and decisions with real and tangible results in a market that is constantly evolving. The city's real estate market did not stop, but it did change pace: it stopped rewarding intuition and began to demand a reading of context, understanding of the product and clarity about the moment of the cycle. Right now, in 2026, it is no longer just a matter of "investing" or "entering" CDMX, but of knowing where, how and under what logic to do so. Because the city is not growing uniformly: some areas are consolidating as stable and liquid investments, while others are beginning to reconfigure and deserve strategic attention, not impulsive bets. CDMX heading into the future: what is really driving the market? Real estate investment in Mexico City is not experiencing an isolated boom; rather, buyers are now facing an urban reorganization. Demand is increasingly concentrated in well-connected areas, with services, access to employment and real rental capacity. At the same time, the city is pushing towards verticalization, densification and the development of projects that are more efficient in size, operation and maintenance. Added to this are external factors that put pressure on demand: labor mobility, the arrival of foreign capital, international events, which results in a more informed consumer who compares, questions and prioritizes liquidity, so the market is transformed, becoming less emotional and more selective. How to read capital gains in 2026 so as not to confuse luck with strategy. Talking about capital gains without context is one of the most common mistakes when evaluating an investment. In 2026, the capital gain in CDMX is not only explained by "fashion", but by infrastructure, services, perception of safety, connectivity and urban narrative. And above all, by verifiable data that separates speculation from real growth. The analysis of the real estate market between 2023 and 2025 reveals a clear phenomenon: Mexico City is experiencing a reorganization of its demand, where consolidated premium areas maintain stability and high prices, while emerging neighborhoods capture the flow of capital displaced by the rising prices of traditional centers.
