A New Era of Wellness in the Workplace

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.

Clear Spaces: A New Vision for the Office Environment

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.
