Lifespan brings new health at the iconic Brooklyn Tower in 2026, and a luxurious complex of buildings brings you fitness, life and work
Lifetime is set to open in Brooklyn following a deal with real estate company Silverstein Properties, the new owner of Brooklyn Tower. The luxurious lifestyle club covers approximately 80,000 square feet across seven levels of Brooklyn Tower, making it the borough’s largest lifespan location.
Located at 9 Dekalb Avenue, the club offers the holistic wellness and social experiences of the building and lifelong member residents, with exclusive studio classes, personal training, strength and fitness. Other amenities include a resort-like seating rooftop pool and bar, cozy wet suites with indoor lap pool, a luxurious spa with cold plunge, steam room, sauna, red light therapy, and IV therapy and massage and coworking and library space.
“As we continue to expand our presence in New York City, we are excited to be working with the Silverstein team on this iconic development,” said Life Time’s president of club operations and Parham Javaheri’s Chief Property Development Officer. “This will become yet another crown jewel in the large, growing portfolio of North American Athletic Country Clubs. This destination is unparalleled with products and we look forward to providing unparalleled healthy living, healthy aging and healthy entertainment experiences to our residents and surrounding communities.”
Life Time Brooklyn Tower is scheduled to open in the second half of 2026. A waitlist has been created.
“As the new owner of Brooklyn Tower, Silverstein Properties is committed to successfully completing the project, including ensuring residents as one of the exceptional suites of amenities, that residents will continue to expect unparalleled health and wellness experiences for their lives,” said President Shawn Katz, Silverstein Capital Partner.
Health-focused real estate has attracted attention as consumers become more health-conscious and seek housing that supports long-term well-being. The wellness economy is projected to reach $9 trillion by 2028, according to the Global Wellness Institute. Industry experts say that wellness real estate is the fastest growing sector in the space, experiencing annual growth of over 18.1% between 2019 and 2023.
The main leaders of this space are in motion. South Florida developer Terra and Wellness Brand are expanding their Miami footprint with a residential and membership community focused on Well Coconut Glove’s second wellness-focused home and membership community, scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2028.
Jetset Pilates is also leaning towards the wellness real estate sector and has opted to open its two-storey flagship studio at Mr. C Residence, Coconut Grove, a sister company to the international hospitality brand.
Meanwhile, in North Carolina, Solid Care, a leader inspired by indoor cycling brand level and Pilates, has been appointed anchor tenant for Novus, a complex luxury home building in Durham.
