Kilroy Exchange Asset Earns WELL Recognition, First & Largest in San Francisco

Kilroy Realty Corporation’s four-building, 750,000-square-foot office project, The Exchange on Sixteenth in San Francisco, earned WELL Core & Shell Certification at the Gold level by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). The project is the largest WELL Certified project in San Francisco, as well as the first project to earn WELL Core & Shell Certification in San Francisco. Further, it is the second project in the state of California to achieve WELL Core & Shell Certification.

As part of this certification, health and wellness elements were incorporated into all aspects of the building design, including enhanced air and water quality, elements promoting physical fitness, and the incorporation of natural and artistic features.

Kilroy’s Warren Forster says, “The Exchange incorporated a strong focus on health from the very beginning. The WELL certification demonstrates that we were able to realize our ambitious goals around health and wellness, which required extensive collaboration from design through construction and operations.”
