In this episode I am in Lisbon, Portugal talking to Jorge Lima, Founder of the Longevity Medicine Summit that will next take place in Lisbon in May 2025. The second day of that event will be focused on wellness real estate and longevity clinics in particular, looking at how the healthspan trend is playing out in buildings and interiors. I’ll be giving a presentation there, that’s how Jorge and I originally connected.
Here we discuss the term wellness real estate, then we go a level deeper into longevity clinics and medical spas in particular, before discussing the type of products and services each might typically offer, why Venture Capital investment is flooding into the sector, the differences between an individual clinic, a larger format wellness resort and an entire wellness residences concept, as well as how such businesses can contribute to the local tourism economy.
