Revolutionizing Residential Health: IWBI’s WELL for Residential Program
The International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), a worldwide leader in promoting market change through health-centric buildings, organizations, and communities, along with Magleby Development, have announced that Velvaere, a new wellness-focused residential community conceived by Magleby Development in the renowned Deer Valley Resort of Park City, has become an early participant in IWBI’s WELL for residential program, which is now accepting enrollments.
 
The pioneering WELL for residential program is a scientifically-supported, independently-verified certification program aimed at revolutionizing the way homes are designed, constructed, and maintained to enhance human health and well-being. This partnership enables Magleby Development to construct its Velvaere community using WELL strategies that have a positive effect on resident health.
 
The WELL for residential program is based on the scientifically-proven principles of the WELL Building Standard (WELL) and its 10 WELL concepts and includes over 100 health strategies that cater to new and existing residences and are suitable for both single-family homes and multifamily buildings. During the program’s launch phase, IWBI is collaborating with top architects, builders, developers, operators, and owners - including Magleby Development - to transform the global residential market and make healthier and more resilient homes more widely available.
 
“We’re honored to be part of IWBI’s WELL for residential program, as our goal is to revolutionize the future of how we live and inspire wellness-based communities of all kinds not just in Utah, but around the world,” said Chad Magleby, CEO of Magleby Development.
 
“Our heightened focus on health and well-being has fueled a sharp rise in the demand for healthy homes,” said Liz Miles, vice president for stakeholder relations at IWBI. “The WELL for residential criteria provides a roadmap for building owners, operators and other building professionals to reimagine the way we create homes by placing health and well-being at the center of design strategies. Congratulations to Magleby Development for becoming an early adopter of the WELL for residential program.”
