Developers aim to design homes and communities that help residents live healthier, more balanced lives.
Gen Z's role in the buyer demographic
With the demand for wellness-centric living surging among millennials and Gen Z, who prioritise health and wellness, these homes are no longer a
preference but a key defining factor in the future of real estate.
Similarly, environmental concerns elevate the need for sustainable living.
In line with this, consumers are now preferring properties integrated with eco-friendly designs and green spaces. The factors, such as air quality, access to
green spaces and community design, play a key role in mental and physical health.
This has created a surge in demand for homes and workspaces with such features as natural light, ventilation and biophilic design that improve mood and
reduce stress.
This heightened focus on environmental elements also reflects global trends where ESG compliance is a becoming critical factor in the decision-making
process for investors and homeowners.
Amenities as a necessity
For instance, amenities such as a swimming pool, jacuzzi, indoor and outdoor gym, mini golf, multipurpose court, padel tennis and jogging tracks, are all
designed to foster holistic well-being.
Furthermore, the inclusion of comprehensive electric vehicle charging stations and the use of low-VOC paints, coatings, and non-CFC HVAC systems ensure
not only superior indoor air quality but also a lower environmental footprint.
Follow the money
In addition, the financial prospects of wellness real estate are compelling due to its capacity to offer the dual benefits of a high-quality, sustainable lifestyle
and robust long-term financial returns.
With over 16,000 wellness-focused homes projected to be completed in Dubai by 2030, the market presents substantial opportunities for investors and
developers alike. This growth comes in line with broader expansion of the UAE’s luxury residential real estate market, which is anticipated to reach USD
22.94 billion by 2030.
As the nation continues to cement its position as a global hub for innovation and refined living, wellness real estate is emerging as a driving factor of this
evolving property landscape.
Developers focussing on the surging emphasis on health-oriented development are not only addressing the market demand but also contributing to a
sustainable and vibrant urban landscape.
The rise of this trend is not just a passing phase, rather, it signifies a redefinition of luxury living, where well-being and sustainability are at the forefront.
This evolution, which measures luxury not only by aesthetics but also through the quality of life it enables, presents a promising opportunity for developers
to innovate and reshape the future of the regional real estate sector.
