CBRE has been looking at how the ethos of "wellness," usually the preserve of luxury properties, can be applied to more typical homes - and in particular, new-build developments, reports the Daily Telegraph. Lisa Hollands, MD of Residential at CBRE, notes that facilities, acoustics, layouts, the flow of air and natural light all play a vital role in how well we feel, live and sleep in our homes – and pinpoints Berkeley’s South Quay Plaza in Canary Wharf as the epitome of the approach. The development offers a 9,000 sq ft health club, huge outdoor terrace, and even a full-time “community organiser” to manage residents’ social lives. Prices start from £675,000.
