Possibly… if it’s upscale real estate such as Greenwich Village condos created by Delos, a pioneer of “Wellness Real Estate.” Actor Leonardo DeCaprio is reported to have purchased a Delos condo for somewhere in the neighborhood of $10 million! For that, he can choose from amenities including a vitamin C-infused shower, purified air and water, a circulated aromatherapy air supply, posture-supportive heat-reflective flooring, a kitchen herbarium, and dawn simulation provided by a proprietary circadian lighting design. But, wait, there’s more! Owners can also access Donna Karan’s Urban Zen wellness concierge to curate and coordinate daily wellness experiences!
According to Delos, these offerings are not simply upscale amenities. Their website makes the point that “the invisible elements of our urban lives—air, water, light and sound—are the luxuries we seek when we escape the urban environment. By using technology to restore these elements and awaken and support our own natural body rhythms, we can restore ourselves.” The company developed their Wellness Real Estate concept through extensive consultation with medical experts and other leading voices in health, science, urban planning, design and architecture.
