Wellness real estate is the fastest-growing segment within the global wellness economy, with projections indicating continued growth. This sector has witnessed exponential expansion, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the vital role of our surroundings in promoting overall well-being. From 2019 to 2022, the market nearly doubled in size, reaching $398 billion, and is forecasted to maintain its leadership position with an annual growth rate of 17.4% through 2027.

As Nancy Davis, GWS executive director and chief creative officer, emphasizes, the momentum behind wellness real estate signifies a transformative shift in how we approach the places we inhabit. It’s not merely about luxury amenities but a fundamental expectation for environments prioritizing health and wellness. This symposium offers a unique opportunity to delve into this pivotal shift and uncover actionable insights into the future of wellness-centric living.

Join us as we reimagine wellness and embark on a journey toward healthier, more vibrant communities and living spaces.
