THE International Well Building Institute (IWBI) has granted Investa with a WELL Portfolio Achievement Award, due to the group’s recent WELL Health-Safety Rating.

“The WELL Portfolio achievement and award is a significant accomplishment for Investa, and we are delighted to show our commitment to building and occupant health and wellbeing through this globally recognised tool,” said Megan Francis, business project manager of real estate operations at Investa.
Investa received these ratings after meeting IWBI’s standards across its ten concepts, following a the bodies review of the portfolio.
“These achievements represent our commitment to the well-being of those who work and visit our buildings. Creating workplaces that enable people to thrive and be their best is at the heart of our strategy,” said Brendan Looby, fund manager of ICPF.
Both OIPP and ICPF in these reviews achieved the highest global portfolio scores for the IWBI concepts of Movement and Community.
“Key to our purpose is to maximise the value of workplaces for our tenants, investors and broader community – being globally recognised as a leader in WELL standards across the OIPP portfolio is an achievement to be proud of,” said Nicole Quagliata, fund manager of OIPP.
With OIPP and ICPF now respectively ranking second and third across the globe in WELL portfolio-wise accreditation.
“We’ve seen an increase in tenant demand for WELL certifications and we’re proud to continue to offer this to our occupants for both new and existing assets,” added Francis.
