In the world of luxury real estate, a transforming trend is starting to show: high-end projects now often have green areas combined with wellness-oriented design. This change shows a growing respect for surroundings that support health, sustainability, and a close connection to nature. We will discuss some of the most fascinating forthcoming projects that have cleverly and creatively included green areas into luxury living as more developers understand its value.
Haven by Aldar: A Sanctuary of Wellness in Dubai
Located in Dubailand, Haven by Aldar covers about a million square meters and features more than 2,400 homes with townhouses and villas ranging in three to six bedrooms. The architecture of the community revolves on a verdant central park with a peaceful stream and a unique treehouse community center, therefore promoting a calm and revitalising environment.
Amenities highlighting the development’s dedication to a healthy living include meditation pavilions, zen gardens, and a wellness concierge service. Emphasizing sustainability, Haven seeks LEED Gold and Fitwel 3-Star certifications by including native vegetation, several green areas, energy-efficient systems, and little environmental effect.
The completion Date is expected in the third quarter of 2027.
CityLife: Eco-Friendly Urban Design
Built on the former Fiera Milano grounds, Milan, Italy’s CityLife is a noteworthy residential, business, and commercial zone.
Covering around 36.6 hectares, it is among the most large car-free areas in Europe, with more than half of its area—about 170,000 square meters—directed toward natural areas. Designed by Gustafson Porter + Bowman, the park creates a sustainable and environmentally friendly urban setting by reflecting the diverse landscapes of the Lombard area.
As of 2023, CityLife is nearing completion, with the final phase expected by 2025.
One Beverly Hills: Sustainable Luxury in Los Angeles
One Beverly Hills is an ambitious project redefining luxury living through sustainable design. The development will introduce 10 acres of open space and botanical gardens, curated by landscape architects RIOS. Among the more than 200 California native plants and trees these gardens will include palms, oaks, sycamores, and succulents. While 4 acres will be private to residents, hotel visitors, and club members, around 4.5 acres will be available to the public. Following LEED Platinum sustainability criteria, the project shows how luxury and environmentally friendly living can coexist.
Although certain parts might open sooner, the project is supposed to be finished by 2028.
LOHAS Park: A Sustainable Community in Hong Kong
LOHAS Park (an acronym for “Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability”) is a prominent seaside private residential development in Hong Kong, situated in Tseung Kwan O Area 86, New Territories. Developed by the MTR Corporation, this expansive project overlooks Junk Bay and exemplifies modern urban living integrated with environmental consciousness.
The development emphasizes sustainability, with green spaces, parks, and eco-friendly building practices integrated into its design.
With so many homes to fit the region’s rising population, LOHAS Park is on target to complete its development by 2025.
The Essential Role of Green Spaces in Human Well-Being
Including green spaces into luxury buildings is not only a design trend but also a response to basic human needs:
- Natural surroundings have been connected to lower stress, better mental health, and more physical well-being.
- Frequent interaction with green areas promotes mental tranquility and active lives. Green areas are public places that support social events, enhance community ties, and offer locations for leisure activities, therefore strengthening social connectivity.
- Including green areas helps to increase biodiversity, clean the air, control urban temperatures, therefore strengthening the resilience and livability of cities.
The combination of luxury living with green areas essentially reflects a comprehensive approach to development—one that acknowledges the essential value of nature in improving quality of life, supporting community, and therefore encouraging environmental care. This tendency points to a significant change toward living surroundings that support the earth as well as people.
