Five Properties Leading The Shift Toward Immersive Amenities

Luxury real estate is no longer defined solely by square footage or proximity to a golf course. Across the globe, developers are creating lifestyle-first destinations where homes are seamlessly integrated into environments that offer surf lagoons, botanical gardens, marinas, and even access to untouched coral reefs. From multifamily communities to hotel-branded residences, these new projects embody a collective vision: living spaces that deliver not just location, but experience.

Where Iconic Hospitality Meets Ten Acres Of Lush Urban Gardens

Set to transform the heart of Beverly Hills, One Beverly Hills will link three iconic hospitality addresses—the Waldorf Astoria, the newly restored Beverly Hilton, and the first Aman resort and residences on the West Coast. Cain International has envisioned 10 acres of botanical gardens designed by RIOS, anchored by walking and biking paths and lined with luxury retail and fine dining. The $300 million investment by VICI underscores its positioning as both a real estate milestone and a cultural landmark. More than a residence, it’s a destination for wellness, leisure, and design.

Following the launch of its Jacksonville, Florida community, Aventuur has its sights set on Dallas–Fort Worth, alongside global expansions in Perth and Auckland. It’s a development model that turns wellness and water into cornerstones of community.

A New Era Of Living

These developments signal a broader shift: luxury real estate that extends beyond ownership into experience. By weaving wellness, culture, and natural landscapes into the very DNA of their communities, they are reshaping not just how people live, but how they connect with place. For buyers and developers alike, it marks the beginning of a new era—where luxury is measured by immersion, not isolation.
