It is credited with such amazing benefits as removing toxic proteins from cells such as which cause Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, recycling residual proteins, providing energy and building blocks for cells that could still benefit from repair, prompting regeneration for healthy cells, and it may also help with cancer prevention.

Industry experts told The Post that it will be those new buildings, designed with cutting-edge tech and with future pandemics in mind, that will have the greatest advantage on the market.

“There is no question the buildings provisioned for the 21st century-plus are going to be in a better position to cash in on the leasing opportunities ahead,” said David Goldstein, vice chairman of real estate services provider Savills. “It could be an older building reimagined, or a new one under construction or in planning stages.”
