Wellness Real Estate: The Fastest-Growing Opportunity in a $6.3 Trillion Global Market
The global wellness economy has ballooned to $6.3 trillion—and no segment is accelerating faster than wellness real estate. For developers, investors, and designers, the message is clear: wellness is no longer a luxury add-on. It’s a growth engine. It’s a differentiator. And it’s a massive business opportunity.
That’s why the 4th Annual Wellness Real Estate & Communities Symposium—taking place June 17, 2025, in New York City and online—is a can’t-miss event. Presented by the Global Wellness Institute and Global Wellness Summit, this one-day gathering brings together top real estate minds, capital strategists, health leaders, and design innovators to explore what’s fueling this explosive sector—and how you can be part of it.
What’s on the Agenda? Here’s just a few agenda topics that are driving real estate forward:
Longevity Living: Building for a 100-Year Life
As populations age and consumers demand more from where they live, the concept of “longevity living” is becoming a blueprint for future-proof communities. This session explores how design, science, and wellness infrastructure are converging to create homes and neighborhoods that support longer, healthier lives—and why forward-thinking developers are moving fast to capitalize. With insights from leaders shaping communities near the Mayo Clinic and beyond, this is where healthspan meets real estate ROI.
Style & Sustainability: The Future Is Beautiful—and Bankable
Consumers now expect design that doesn’t just look good—it has to do good. In this powerful conversation, branding visionary Lynette Harrison Brubaker and sustainability icon Danny Seo unpack how smart, sustainable design is reshaping what people want and what investors fund. They’ll share lessons from culture-shifting brands and show how to deliver spaces that are as financially resilient as they are planet-friendly.
UAE Case Study: Wellness at Scale
With over $8 billion in residential sales in 2023, Aldar Development is proving that wellness sells—and sells fast. CEO Jonathan Emery joins Joanna Frank, President of the Center for Active Design, to break down how the UAE became a global leader in wellness-centric development. From policy to product, they’ll reveal how speed, innovation, and wellness integration are driving record-breaking results—and what developers around the world can learn from it.
Living WELL: One CEO’s Personal Blueprint for the Future of Home
Rachel Hodgdon, CEO of the International WELL Building Institute, isn’t just setting standards for healthy buildings—she’s living them. In an intimate keynote with Nancy Davis, she’ll share how she designed her own multigenerational, wellness-focused home and why this model is gaining traction worldwide. For real estate professionals, this is a case study in designing for demand that’s only growing.
Investing in Wellness Real Estate: Capital Meets Impact
This isn’t theoretical—wellness real estate is attracting real capital. Nathan Palin, founder of Skoa Capital, the first investment bank focused solely on wellness real estate, teams up with renowned strategist Mia Kyricos to discuss what investors are looking for, what’s getting funded, and how to structure projects that align values with returns. From next-gen resorts to nature-integrated neighborhoods, this is where mission-driven development gets financially viable.
Who Should Be in the Room?
If you’re a real estate developer, funder, investor, architect, planner, consultant, or strategist—this event is built for you. The Wellness Real Estate & Communities Symposium is not a trends showcase. It’s a business summit designed to unlock opportunity, build partnerships, and spark action in the fastest-rising segment of the wellness economy.
