Wellness Real Estate

Wellness isn’t a “nice-to-have” anymore, it’s becoming the new standard for how we build our homes and neighbourhoods. Real estate has become the engine behind the wellness boom, and it’s changing everything from how we sleep to how we age.

Australia’s wellness economy reached about AU$197 billion in 2023 and grew nearly 11 per cent in a single year, making it one of the fastest‑growing in the world (AMI, 2025).

We rank top 10 globally and fourth in the Asia‑Pacific region, and wellness real estate is one of the biggest growth areas (Global Wellness Institute, 2025).

But it’s not just about having a fancy gym like TotalFusion nearby, even with their snow rooms, plunge pools and recovery zones. It’s about how our actual homes and neighbourhoods help us move, connect, and recover every day. Think less “passive building” and more “space that actually makes you feel better.”

We’re seeing it everywhere, from run clubs that end in iced lattes to the pickleball obsession taking over our suburbs. Social wellness is the new ‘going out.’ It’s how we meet people, find our community, and even find a date (we see you Soso’s). Whether it’s a morning Pilates session, a quick red light therapy hit, or a Sunday cold plunge, these things are becoming as standard as a kitchen sink.

For developers, this is the new baseline. People aren’t just buying a floor plan, they’re buying a lifestyle that makes staying healthy effortless. If a community has a recovery lounge or a meditation pod built-in, it’s not just a perk, it’s the reason people want to be there.
