New plan
- Shinhan Life Care signed an MOU with Nikken Sekkei to develop senior housing and care facilities.
- The companies plan to create resident-focused spaces that connect daily living with healthy aging, including at Shinhan Life Care’s facilities.
Shinhan Life Care, the senior-care subsidiary of Shinhan Life, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Japanese architectural design firm Nikken Sekkei to develop housing and care facilities for older people.
The agreement responds to rapidly changing demand for senior housing in South Korea. The companies aim to move beyond facilities that provide basic care and create residential spaces where older people can continue their daily lives while supporting their health.
Under the agreement, the two companies will work on architectural design and comprehensive spatial planning for facilities operated by Shinhan Life Care. They also plan to develop layouts centered on residents’ needs.
