In January, sales launched at the new Coconut Grove residences by wellness lifestyle brand the Well<\/a>; Compass broker Ivan Chorney was the first through the sales office door. \u201cI bought Day 1,\u201d says Chorney, a longtime resident of Coconut Grove who nabbed a two-bedroom unit at the eight-story, 194-unit project designed by Arquitectonica. \u201cI rushed in there because one of their salespeople wanted the same unit that I wanted. So, I beat him into his own office and bought the unit.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not only does Chorney believe in the site, its developer, Terra, and the neighborhood \u2014 he believes that wellness-focused residences are the future of Miami. \u201cJust look around Miami, and one out of four people is wearing a [Polar] Loop or an Oura\u201d health-tracking device, he says. <\/p>\n

Longevity has grown into an $85 billion industry<\/a>, and Miami developers know that many of their buyers now expect their home to function as a fountain of youth. That\u2019s why New York-based the Well is packing its Miami condo building with advanced health tech. <\/p>\n

Residents will have access to IV therapy, a cold plunge and caldarium, a hyperbaric chamber, Electrical Muscle Stimulation training, a 13,000-square-foot state-of-the-art Wellness Club and longevity experts. The building will also host a \u201ccrystal cave\u201d and perform an \u201cenergy-clearing ceremony\u201d at each new residence. Prices start at $1.25 million, and Douglas Elliman is handling sales.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the Well has competition. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was on a call this morning with a developer who\u2019s going to be launching a project [in Miami] where the entire focus is going to be wellness and longevity,\u201d says Mayi de la Vega, the Miami-located founder and CEO of One Sotheby\u2019s International Realty. \u201cEverybody wants to buy in a place that is going to improve their health and longevity. A lot of buildings are looking at hiring medical directors.\u201d <\/p>\n

In nearby Coral Gables, the neighborhood\u2019s first wellness-focused condominium is rising in the Merrick Park district. Dubbed Cora Merrick Park<\/a>, the 13-story development by Constellation Group and the Boschetti Group was created with European wellness consultancy Lamarca Well. The building will have biophilic architecture and interiors by Arquitectonica and Urban Robot, Well certification, advanced air purification systems, lighting systems that sync with circadian rhythms, cold plunges and red light therapy panels \u2014 all constructed out of nontoxic, low-VOC materials. Unit sizes for the 74 residences range from one bedroom to three bedrooms, spanning 678 square feet to 2,651, with prices starting at $970,000. It\u2019s expected to be completed in 2028.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, buildings that aren\u2019t purely wellness-focused \u2014 like Jem Private Residences in Downtown Miami, Gale Miami Residences in Miami World Center and Airbnb\u2019s residential project Twenty Sixth & 2nd in Wynwood \u2014 are still stacking their towers with amenities like cold plunges, salt rooms, medical spas and infrared saunas.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the last three years, people have been on a massive longevity kick,\u201d says Douglas Elliman\u2019s Dina Goldentayer, who is marketing a four-bed, six-bath at 94 S. Hibiscus Drive<\/a> on Miami Beach for $24.5 million \u2014 thanks in part to a wellness sanctuary with a UV sauna and a cold plunge that is \u201chyperbaric chamber-ready.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cDevelopers are calling me and saying, \u2018What\u2019s a must-have for a buyer?\u2019 And I\u2019m now telling them, \u2018Install an infrared sauna.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In January, sales launched at the new Coconut Grove residences by wellness lifestyle brand the Well; Compass broker…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":71399,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1034,13214,803,123,1642,125,124,480,804,41038],"class_list":["post-71398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-alexa","tag-douglas-elliman","tag-luxury-real-estate","tag-miami","tag-miami-beach","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-real-estate","tag-residential-real-estate","tag-sothebys"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71398\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
