Before the pandemic, Life Time was slated to launch
a Life Time Living resort in Dallas, as well as Las Vegas and Miami. The company’s Dallas project was delayed due to COVID-19 and construction is now expected to start in March 2023.
Life Time Living’s project in Miami, in Coral Gables, Florida, was originally a collaboration between Life Time and Nolan Reynolds International (NRI), but real estate investment company Hines recently acquired the development for a reported US$430m. It features a 80,000sq ft athletic resort, a 25,000sq ft work facility and 495 residences, including studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom units.
Following the deal, Life Time will continue to operate the fitness and co-working space and Willowick Residential, Hines’ boutique property management firm, will manage the property.
Life Time was founded by Bahram Akradi 22 years ago and registered under the name of Life Time Fitness, but in 2017 it removed ‘fitness’ to become Life Time. The company operates around 160 health and fitness clubs across the US and Canada – which the company claims have around 1.7m members – as well as several co-working locations and approximately 200 US-based races, such as the Life Time Tri Series and the Miami Marathon.
