We know that sleep has a significant impact on our mental health, which is why Fitwel includes many strategies that can help building occupants get better sleep, such as increasing access to daylight, locating workstations near windows, providing room darkening shades, limiting light pollution, and minimizing interior and exterior-sourced noises.

Weir’s Plaza, a mixed-use tower with office space, four chef-driven restaurants, and the Weir's Furniture Flagship store in Dallas, was recently certified under Fitwel’s Multi-Tenant Base Building v2.1, achieving a 2-Star Rating. Located in the urban Knox Retail District, the project's goal was to create a people-centric mixed-use development that preserved the surrounding area's rich history.

Fitwel Partner, RE Tech Advisors (formerly LORD Green Real Estate Strategies) chose Fitwel certification for 300 West Sixth to assist its client and Fitwel Champion, Lionstone Investments, in its ongoing commitment to the health and wellness of building staff and tenants.

For the iCity team, achieving Fitwel Certification is the first milestone in striving to support employee health. Continuing to optimize the workplace environment can make employees feel happier and achieve a sense of belonging. The facility has created long-term shared value with stakeholders and achieved influence in the social, economic, and environmental fields by continuing to deepen sustainable development.

Joanna Frank of the Center for Active Design, operator of Fitwel, will speak in a featured keynote at the PERE Network's Asia Summit in February. The event will feature topics including diversity, equity, and inclusion as well as climate resilience and societal health.

Join us at IMN’s Winter Forum on February 7-8 in Nashville, TN. The Center for Active Design and Fitwel teams are excited to reunite with our global community of Investors, Champions, Partners, Providers, Ambassadors, and industry counterparts. Don’t forget to check out the multiple panels we will be participating in.
