The firm acquired 90 new development sites last year with a current land bank of 10,087 plots.
John White, Group Chairman, said: "It has been another strong year of profitable growth for McCarthy & Stone. We continue to capitalise on the increasing demand for specialist retirement housing, driven by a rapidly ageing population and a structural under-supply of this form of accommodation in the UK.
"The Group is well-positioned to benefit from this unprecedented market opportunity, and the scale and quality of our land bank provides significant visibility over the medium-term for our potential rapid growth.
"Against this backdrop, we have increased our investment target for land and build to £2.5 billion over the next four years and remain on track to deliver 3,000 specialist retirement apartments per year over the medium term, doubling the size of the business."
