Who are they and where are they going?
We are in a great transition period where the Baby Boomer generation, while remaining very active and often still in decision-making roles, is passing the torch to the new Millennial generation.

Boomers might look for more traditional amenities, such as a prestigious address or plush interiors. In short, know thy audience.
