An Amenities Heavy Multifamily Experience

[Corbett Brasington]

So I don't know what to call this but I have this vision for an apartment building designed for young working professionals who are super busy but all about being their best selves.  They have all the things needed, on site, for you to live your best life and give you the separation of working remotely because an entire floor would be a co-working space.

This idea came from three places, air craft carriers (which are like mini cities), military bases in general (which typically have everything you need on them), and experiences I have had working as a consultant in hotels that were wonderful.   In the thought of if I could have my living experience be whatever I wanted...what would it look like.

I came up with this list: 

Barber shop / Salon pallor, Car wash center, neighborhood grocery story (with good produce, beer/wine, premade but fresh over ready meals, and all my hygiene needs, on site bar or restaurant, community gathering area, a co-working space with small offices I could rent if need but a shared space also, a lap swimming pool, a real deal gym (not a hotel gym), sauna, on site laundry service (offered at a premium), and on site cleaning crew (additional cost of course) to clean my place.

All of these things would be set up as additional sources of revenue for the apartment some that are directly operated others that just lease out space (like the salon parlor or something)

Structurally it could look something like this: 

Sub basement: Lap pool / locker rooms / sauna

Basement: Full real deal gym (anytime fitness level type) - could be directly operated or space leased

First floor: The amenities floor - could be directly operated or space leased

2nd or third floor: Shared co-working space (residents get a discount and are priortized but its still open to the public for a cost)

All floors above are living space.

Has anyone ever though of this before?

Does this exist?

This is defiantly a niche space so a major city would likely be required for the location to work.  I just love the idea of everything I need to live my best life is on site....like when you are deployed and you can focus all of your energy on whatever your mission is.

I would love to talk to people who work in niche type multifamily spaces or just get feedback in general.
