Insights
What the market is telling developers right now.
We publish what we learn on live projects and in the research we track — with the part that matters most: what to do about it.
10–25%
Sales price premium
Typical uplift for wellness-oriented residential over comparable stock — worth testing against your own comp set.
4–7%
Rent premium
Reported across independent studies of buildings that can evidence better conditions, not just claim them.
What is actually driving the premium
Buyers changed their filter
Air quality, daylight, acoustics and outdoor access moved from nice-to-have to shortlist criteria — especially in premium residential and hospitality.
Tenants price productivity
Corporate occupiers link building conditions to absenteeism and retention, and will pay for measurable conditions rather than claims.
Capital wants defensible metrics
Health data now sits alongside carbon in diligence packs. Assets that can evidence performance carry less regulatory and repositioning risk.
Operating risk is falling
Better ventilation, water and materials strategies cut complaints, remediation costs and void periods across a hold period.
Three things we would act on
Premiums follow proof, not positioning
Buildings that can show measured performance hold their premium. Buildings that only market it lose it at the second sale.
The cheap wins are usually early and structural
Orientation, daylight, ventilation strategy and circulation cost little at concept and are near-impossible to fix later.
Operations decide whether the premium survives
Most performance loss happens after handover, in maintenance regimes and procurement decisions nobody revisits.
