Life Time Brings Luxury Wellness to Brooklyn Tower
Life Time is bringing wellness to new heights in 2026 at the iconic Brooklyn Tower, blending fitness, living and work in a luxury mixed-use building
Life Time is set to open in Brooklyn following a deal with real estate firm Silverstein Properties, the new owner of the Brooklyn Tower. The luxury lifestyle club will occupy roughly 80,000 square feet across seven levels in the Brooklyn Tower—making it the largest Life Time location in the borough.
The club, located at 9 Dekalb Avenue, will offer residents of the building and Life Time members the holistic wellness and social experience the brand is known for, along with its exclusive studio classes, personal training, and strength and fitness offerings. Other amenities include a rooftop pool with resort-like seating and a bar, a co-ed wet suite with an indoor lap pool, cold plunge, steam room and sauna, a luxury spa with red light therapy, IV therapy and massage and co-working and library spaces.
“As we continue to expand our presence in New York City, we’re thrilled to work with the Silverstein team on this iconic development,” Life Time president of club operations and chief property development officer Parham Javaheri said. “This will be yet another crown jewel in our large and growing portfolio of athletic country clubs in North America. This destination will be unmatched in offerings, and we look forward to delivering our incomparable healthy living, healthy aging and healthy entertainment experiences to residents and the surrounding community.”
Life Time Brooklyn Tower is slated 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 a successful completion of the project, which includes ensuring that residents will continue to expect Life Time’s unparalleled health and wellness experience as one of the building’s suite of exceptional amenities,” Silverstein Capital Partners president Shawn Katz said.
Wellness-focused real estate is gaining traction as consumers become more health-conscious and seek residences that support their long-term well-being. According to the Global Wellness Institute, the wellness economy is projected to reach $9 trillion by 2028. Industry experts say wellness real estate is the fastest-growing sector within the space, experiencing over 18.1% annual growth between 2019 and 2023.
Major leaders in the space are making moves: South Florida developer Terra and wellness brand The Well are expanding their footprint in Miami with a second wellness-focused residential and membership community at The Well Coconut Grove, which is slated to open in Q1 2028.
JetSet Pilates is also leaning into the wellness real estate sector, electing to open its two-story flagship studio this year at Coconut Grove’s Mr. C Residences, the sister company to international hospitality brand Cipriani.
In North Carolina, meanwhile, indoor cycling brand Revel and Pilates-inspired leader Solidcare have been named anchor tenants at The Novus, a mixed-use, high-end residential building in Durham.
