Vasari
Vasari
Not a building with a gym. A wellness destination that happens to have forty-four residences — and a club open to a small membership beyond.
The thesis is simple. The conditions for a long, well life — light, air, water, movement, recovery, food, sleep, community — should not be hobbies a person squeezes into evenings and weekends. They should be the building. Vasari makes that building real, in Iowa City, on a corner that knows the difference.
The club is small on purpose. A train floor for honest strength. A heated studio for the practices that come back to breath. Recovery you would otherwise drive an hour for. And a café that sets the tone for the day before any of it begins.
2,400 sq ft of functional strength and movement, programmed for life-span, not for vanity.
Sauna and red-light therapy. Cold plunge and deluge if the scope holds through final design.
Pilates, yoga, breath-work, mindful movement. Heated, low-light, quiet by intention.
Organic, adaptogens and elixirs, a counter to sit at. The social hub of the building.
The club is open to residents and to a small membership beyond the building.

A home that does the work a long life requires.
Studios through two-bedrooms across four residential floors. Every home receives the same Wellness-Optimized Living standard — circadian lighting, filtered air and water, non-toxic materials, and sound-dampening that lets the city outside become a backdrop, not a feature.
A small, deliberate home. Sleeping alcove, full kitchen, west light.
Separate bedroom and living. Most-requested layout. Corner units available.
A second room for a study, a guest, or whatever you make of it.
Two true bedrooms. Top floor with private rooftop access.

All 44 residences →The four pillars below are standard in every residence and every public room. Not amenities to opt into — the air the building breathes.
Tunable light from warm sunrise tones to a clean midday spectrum, returning to amber at dusk. Sleep follows.
MERV-13 fresh-air filtration with VOC scrubbing. Whole-home water filtration to the tap and shower-head.
Low-VOC finishes, solid-wood casework, wool textiles, mineral paints. Surfaces that age into themselves.
Resilient-channel walls, double-glazed windows, acoustic underlayments. Iowa City stays where you left it.
A UNESCO City of Literature. A teaching hospital nationally ranked. Trails along the river, a farmer's market that takes itself seriously, and a downtown small enough to walk and dense enough to surprise you. Vasari sits where the campus, the hospital, and the city all meet.
A real person at a real number, every day of the week. Tour requests, application questions, what the corner café is pulling this morning. No chat widget, no forms.
We're reviewing applications in the order they arrive. The first homes are spoken for by the end of 2026. A short application, a longer conversation, and — if the fit is right — a key in August 2027.
