About

Global Leader in Market Research for Residential Communities

For 38 years, ProMatura has been a world leader in market research for residential communities, specializing in all forms of age-qualified housing (a.k.a. senior living, seniors housing, retirement communities). We’re a full-service firm, helping clients make decisions and solve conundrums through custom-designed studies. Our data are valid, reliable, usable, defensible. Our research has proven again and again to yield exceptional, successful communities.

We work with a variety of clients, including developers, existing communities, industry associations, and finance and investment agencies. Common questions we help answer are:

  • Is my planned community site appropriate?
  • Am I building the right type of community for my market?
  • What do potential buyers want in housing? What do they need? How much will they pay?
  • What are the best floor plans to use?
  • How can I fill units faster?
  • How can I make my residents happier?

ProMatura works in every state of the US, every province in Canada, and throughout Mexico—and we’ve conducted research for businesses in the UK, Spain, Portugal, France, Costa Rica, Honduras, Australia, Japan, and China. Wherever you are, we’re here to help your community thrive.
