You’ve heard of LEED Certification. Now, meet WELL Certification.
The WELL Building Standard is the first building certification to focus on enhancing people’s health and well-being through the built environment. And L&L Holding today announced that its commercial property at 425 Park Avenue in the Plaza District will be the first WELL-certified office tower in New York City.
David Levinson, the chairman and chief executive officer of
L&L Holding, said a fundamental idea behind 425 Park Avenue was to
make a 21st century office building and work environment.
“This is an opportunity for us to develop a building that will be unique because of all these 21st century characteristics,” he said. “It’s really embedded in all of our thinking.”
There is currently only one WELL certified office building in the country (in Los Angeles), though many office buildings are attempting to obtain certification. The International WELL Building Institute, the company which administers the WELL Building Standard, also helps residential, hospitality, mixed-use and health care properties, become more healthful for tenants.
What do you think? Is this trend or will this be common practice, moving forward?
