Consumers have been embedding more and more wellness into their daily lives. As economists, we have tracked the rise of the global wellness industry for more than a decade. Do you know that wellness real estate is a $548 billion global industry, and the United States is the largest market? In this session, we will introduce the Global Wellness Institute’s report, Build Well To Live Well: The Future, and we will provide a primer on wellness real estate: what is it, why does it matter, why it is growing so fast, and how do you build it? Often, there is a misconception that wellness real estate only applies to hospitality properties, luxury apartments, or gated communities. Today, we will release a new case study report that highlights thirteen developments – illustrating how wellness can be embedded in any project, at any price point, and for many different types of occupants.
