Sotheby’s International Realty 2026 Mid-Year Luxury Outlook report identified longevity-driven living as a major force reshaping luxury real estate. The report notes that the global longevity market is projected to grow from $5.3 trillion in 2023 to $8 trillion by 2030, while wellness real estate is expected to surpass $1.11 trillion by 2029. At The Cove Residences, a 40-story boutique waterfront condominium being built in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood, a premium healthcare concierge program is being introduced to bring personalized medical care directly into residents’ homes.
The Cove Residences is the first condominium to offer a healthcare concierge fully integrated into homeownership, with no subscriptions, expiration dates, or unexpected fees. Unlike concierge programs at other developments that require a separate membership or expire after an introductory period, the service is tied to each residence and covers owners, family members, and guests staying in the home. As a Cove resident, physicians are available for regular house calls, diagnostic testing and prescription deliveries happen without waiting rooms or long appointment times, and feeling one’s best becomes central to everyday life. While many new developments are investing solely in wellness programming, The Cove is making access to medical care just as easy as a fitness center or spa
“Many buyers in their late 50s, 60s, and 70s are not downsizing or moving into senior housing,” says Anna Sherrill, senior global real estate advisor, ONE Sotheby’s International Realty in Miami, Florida. “Instead, they are purchasing or staying in homes that allow them to live well for a very long time. These are clients who are highly focused on their health, longevity and quality of life.”
The Cove Residences, powered by Healthcare On Demand, the new white-glove offering provides physician house calls, diagnostics and testing, recovery treatments and prescription delivery seven days a week. Included as part of ownership, the service will be available to residents at no additional membership cost upon move in. As luxury buyers increasingly prioritize health as an essential component of everyday living, the new program elevates the residential experience with proactive, modern wellness, further enriching The Cove Residences’ exclusive waterfront lifestyle.
“Luxury living is evolving, and buyers are placing greater value on services that support their health,” says Joseph Stern, co-founder and principal at SB Development, who is developing the project alongside Hazelton Capital Group. “At The Cove Residences, we wanted to create a lifestyle that feels effortless and deeply connected to wellbeing. Bringing healthcare into the home gives residents a level of access and peace of mind that goes far beyond a traditional amenity.”
Envisioned as a seamless approach to personal health, the new Healthcare On Demand concierge delivers convenience to owners of the tower’s 134 one- to four-bedroom residences. The healthcare concierge is tied to each residence rather than a specific individual, so owners, family members, and guests will be able to access the included services within the home. At a time when coordinating medical appointments often requires significant advance planning, residents can access the highest standards of professional care without any scheduling stress, waiting rooms, or unnecessary travel. Services include all facets of medical care, from pediatrics to women’s health, diagnostics like rapid labs, bloodwork, X-rays, and ultrasounds, as well as wellness and performance treatments such as IV therapy, vitamin boosts, and joint recovery.
“Wellness is no longer limited to a gym or spa,” say Adam Westreich, principal at Hazelton Capital Group. “It has become part of the way people evaluate their homes, their routines, and their quality of life. The healthcare concierge at The Cove Residences is about giving residents the ability to prioritize their health without disrupting their lives. It is personal, private, and available when they need it.”
The introduction of the on-call healthcare service reflects a broader shift toward wellness-driven living, a concept that The Cove Residences also embraced for its design and expansive amenity collection. The development features a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga room, spa with cold plunge, massage rooms, hammam and sauna, outdoor meditation and Zen Garden, resort-style infinity pool, private cabanas, and direct Baywalk access.
Outside of the wellness programming, residents will have access to a full suite of lifestyle amenities designed for work, entertainment, and daily ease, including a business center with co-working space, reception and conference rooms, private offices, a theater room, a private dining room with chef’s kitchen, game and billiards room, owner’s lounge with wine storage, and a children’s playroom. Rooftop summer kitchens with grills and seating, a waterside restaurant, a water sports dock, pet spa, and valet parking with electric vehicle charging capability will further support a connected, service-oriented residential experience.
Located at 496 NE 29th Street, The Cove Residences is a leading Miami development featuring spacious residences with floor-to-ceiling windows, impressive wrap-around terraces, and interior finishes that emphasize natural textures and materials, blending indoor and outdoor living. With architecture by Kobi Karp Architecture and interiors by Dieguez Fridman Design, the homes provide both park and direct water frontage, sitting just 25 feet from the seawall. Pricing at The Cove Residences starts at $795,000. The development is expected to be completed in 2028.
