LONGEVITY RESIDENCES

‘Wellness residences’ generally optimize the built environment for long-term health, with a focus on things like air quality, water, light, acoustics, walkability and social connection.” …

The term longevity residences, however, refers to projects that take wellness a step further. They offer preventive and diagnostic health services such as biomarker testing, biological age assessment and AI-enhanced screenings. Other amenities sometimes include therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen, red-light therapy and cryotherapy. “In essence, they are bringing the programming of a longevity clinic or medical-wellness longevity resort home.” …

[One longevity development offers homes] in three design concepts, Embrace, Journey and Serene

[Its amenities include] an Ammortal Chamber, a multimodular system combining red-light therapy, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy and molecular hydrogen inhalation. These treatments are designed to aid post-workout recovery, sharpen mental clarity and support overall well-being. Residents can also undergo DEXA scans to measure bone density, body fat, visceral fat and muscle mass, as well as VO2 max testing to evaluate aerobic capacity.

To assess joint health and physical power, the spa is equipped with VALD force plates and 3-D motion-capture technology that analyzes biomechanics and human movement. For sleep and relaxation, a HUSO sound-therapy system is also available, and homeowners can tap a medical concierge 24 hours a day...

[Other developments] offer therapies such as microbiome analysis, which is a molecular test of gut bacterial DNA used to optimize longevity. Stem cell procedures, in which a patient’s own cells are harvested and reinjected to stimulate collagen production, may also be offered.

[O]wners can [also] request on-demand services, such as red-light therapy panels and Normatec compression sleeves for the legs, arms and hips, which improve circulation and accelerate muscle recovery.

Velvaere, a development in Park City, Utah, which is already open, takes a similar approach. The 115 residences are outfitted with circadian-supportive lighting, filtered-water systems and smart-energy technology, along with dedicated wellness spaces that include infrared-light rooms, cold plunges, steam and massage areas...

[This] development has also partnered with the lifestyle robotics company Aescape to offer AI-powered massages, which scan the body with more than a million data points to deliver customized treatments, adjusting pressure levels, target areas and even music preferences

[‘Ms UD, your music preference is My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama.’]

..The property will feature a dedicated wellness and longevity floor outfitted with a range of amenities, including contrast-therapy circuits—which pairs hot and cold treatments—infrared saunas, areas for AI massages, and stem cell therapy

[B]iohacking-focused elements will extend into the residences themselves. Units will include low-toxicity paints and materials, hydrolyzed water filtration systems, and lighting strategies that support circadian rhythms and sleep.

The Well Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, where move-ins begin this spring, features residences outfitted with lymphatic drainage showers, red-light therapy, and air-purification systems. Residents and members will also have access to on-site Longevity Labs led by Dr. Frank Lipman, offering functional and preventive care, biomarker testing and IV therapies, among other treatments.
