Clear Spaces is transforming the modern workplace by prioritizing health, wellness, and sustainability. Located in downtown Miami, this once-vacant office space underwent a cutting-edge renovation to create a people-first environment featuring advanced air and water purification, movement-friendly workstations, and mindfulness areas. The project quickly reached full occupancy, attracting health-conscious businesses and proving the rising demand for wellness-focused office spaces. Clear Spaces sets a new standard, showing that a healthy work environment is the future of commercial real estate.
In a world where health and well-being are top priorities, the quality of the indoor spaces where we spend the vast majority of our time has never been more important. The recent COVID-19 pandemic accelerated a shift in how people view their work environments towards a strong emphasis on physical and mental health and wellness. Today, over 80% of American consumers—especially younger millennials and Gen Z—consider wellness a top priority in their daily lives.
The commercial real estate sector, particularly office spaces, was particularly hard-hit by the pandemic, with a massive shift to work-from-home policies. The return to office work prompted companies to rethink the importance of their office spaces. With many employees and clients now seeking healthier indoor environments, the demand for wellness-focused spaces has surged.
Amid this evolving landscape, a long-vacant office space in downtown Miami found new life. Located at 151 SE 1st Street, at the base of Centro, a 37-story residential tower, the space had been unoccupied for five years before being acquired by Clear Spaces in July 2022. With a mission to redefine the office experience, Clear Spaces set out to create a workplace centered on wellness, productivity, and sustainability.
Undergoing a comprehensive renovation, completed in December 2023, the office was transformed into a cutting-edge wellness-focused workspace. The design was guided by a "people-first" philosophy that utilizes world-class technologies to create a healthy environment and improve employee satisfaction.
Just eight months after renovations, by September 2024, Clear Spaces reached full occupancy, proving the growing demand for wellness-oriented commercial spaces. The tenant mix reflects this shift, including businesses with a strong focus on health and wellness, including:
Clear Spaces is a testament to the evolving priorities in the real estate sector, where well-being is no longer an afterthought but a core feature. As the wellness industry continues to boom, it is influencing not only lifestyle choices but also the way commercial spaces are designed and valued. The success of Clear Spaces highlights a broader market trend: health-conscious work environments are not just desirable—they are essential.
This case study underscores the future of office spaces, where wellness and productivity go hand in hand, creating environments that support both people and businesses.
