The renovation of our New York office re-establishes our commitment to SoHo, a walkable, amenity-rich, and transit-connected neighborhood we’ve called home for 25 years. To achieve the Fitwel certification we formalized our best practices for cleaning as well as monitoring air quality and testing our potable water. We’ve also moved to sit-stand desks and strengthened our programs which support the health, wellness, and community in our office.

Developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention and U.S. General Services Administration, the Fitwel® system focuses on design and operational strategies that promote occupant wellness, from access to natural light and outdoor spaces to healthy food options and elements such as stairwells that encourage physical activity.
