Global Wellness Institute's Wellness Real Estate and Communities Symposium Adds Top Investors and Developers to Agenda


MIAMI, Sept. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The nonprofit Global Wellness Institute (GWI), the leading research organization for the global wellness industry, today announced additional keynotes and panels confirmed for the first-ever Wellness Real Estate and Communities Symposium being held in person and virtually Tuesday, September 28, in NYC.

The new speakers and panels show that the symposium will move beyond abstract theory and hype for "building well" to share real-world data and case studies on what impact the "wellness effect" has on residential and commercial real estate. Leading executives in the real estate investment space, from Blackstone to Tishman Speyer, will discuss investor perceptions and the current landscape of wellness real estate (what's getting funded, how and where). Developers and owners of over a dozen very diverse global projects in the pipeline?from AMAALA in Saudi Arabia to Tri Vananda in Thailand?will present the "whys" of their unique concepts and real numbers from their funding structure to pre-sales rates.

"We know the pandemic has led more people to seek homes and communities that are purpose-built to deliver more physical, mental and social wellbeing, but what impact does a wellness focus really have on investment and sales? What's the premium, the ROI? What makes a development successful, and what are the critical mistakes to avoid? What are the leading concepts in the global pipeline and the key trends to watch in the future?" said Susie Ellis, GWI chairman and CEO. "Experts will work to answer these key questions; we plan to get very real."

The symposium, a hybrid event with both in-person and virtual registration (on-demand viewing for global time zones), takes place from 8 AM?4 PM, September 28, at etc.venues (601 Lexington Ave., NYC). In-person attendees are also invited to a VIP reception the evening before.

Registration is open, and space is limited.

Science and Innovation?How the Built Environment Actually Impacts Health

Beth McGroarty, VP, Research & Forecasting for the GWI, will lead a panel of top media predicting future directions for the market?from developments that blend home, work and wellness to a massive new value for nature to a shakeup in senior living to thinking beyond the billionaires.
