A holistic wellness center from Oasis is planned at Brookhill Village, the sprawling South End redevelopment taking shape off South Tryon Street. The project, called Oasis Wellness Sanctuary, is envisioned around a 200-foot dome and a meditation garden.
Plans call for Oasis Wellness Sanctuary at Brookhill Village.
Oasis's own project materials describe something closer to a sanctuary than a typical spa. The site oasisiscoming.com states plainly that it is “not a spa. A sanctuary,” and places the development at the corner of South Tryon and Remount Road in Brookhill. A companion site, oasischarlotte.com, describes it as “a botanical wellness sanctuary rising on four acres in South End's Brookhill corridor,” centered on what it calls “a 200-foot geodesic dome and four elemental satellite structures.”
Botanical Pathways, a Labyrinth and a Sand Circle
The planned grounds would wind through botanical pathways, a labyrinth and a meditation garden, per oasischarlotte.com. Amenities described on oasisiscoming.com include a curated tea lounge, an integration lounge, four elemental satellite experiences and an outdoor sand circle, alongside thermal and hydrotherapy offerings and healing modalities. The site also promises practitioners, bodywork and somatic therapy for members.
Oasis is designed to be membership-based, with plans to welcome its first 400 founding members, according to oasisiscoming.com. Practitioners who want to work on-site can apply for a professional residency through oasischarlotte.com/practitioners, which lists six-month or 12-month renewable terms. That page describes a founding cohort of roughly three resident practitioners, growing to between three and six at any given time.
Brookhill Village's Bigger Transformation
Oasis would land inside a much larger overhaul already underway at Brookhill Village, a 42-acre, multistage redevelopment led by Griffin Brothers Cos., as detailed by The Charlotte Ledger. Griffin Brothers has already renovated 89 of the site's affordable housing units, Axios reports, and the broader plan includes commercial and event space, hospitality uses, and padel courts and a clubhouse built through an agreement with a racket-sports group, according to the Charlotte Observer.
Infrastructure upgrades tied to the redevelopment include extending Dunavant Street across South Tryon Street, adding 8-foot ADA-compliant sidewalks, updating curbs and drainage systems, and planting more than 300 trees, the Observer's reporting shows. Developers are projecting the finished Brookhill Village site will draw more than 200,000 visitors a year.
Joining a Crowded Wellness Scene
Oasis would join other wellness businesses in the area. Atlanta-based STAT Wellness opened its first Charlotte location nearby in August, combining functional medicine, physical therapy and strength training at a 2401 Distribution St. space that includes a gym with squat racks, medical consultation rooms and member lounges, Axios reported. STAT offers three monthly membership tiers priced at $150, $185 and $295.
Other South End players include Pause, which runs a sauna-and-cold-plunge concept in the Arboretum with another South End location expected soon, per the same Axios report. Oasis is pitching itself as a sanctuary rather than another gym.
