Almost 8 million square feet of prime office space on both coasts now boasts IBWI's health and safety certification

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- The Swig Company announced today that it has obtained WELL Health-Safety Ratings (https://www.wellcertified.com/health-safety/) through the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) for the majority of its national portfolio of multitenant office buildings. This means the WELL rating is now a feature in almost eight million square feet of office space owned by The Swig Company in New York, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area.

The buildings include those owned and operated by The Swig Company, including The Mills Building at 220 Montgomery and 501 Second Street in San Francisco as well as buildings owned in partnership, such as The Grace Building in New York.

Designed to empower owners and operators across large and small businesses alike to take the necessary steps to prioritize the health and safety of their staff, visitors and stakeholders, the WELL Health-Safety Rating guides users in preparing their spaces for re-entry in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, instilling confidence in those who come through the building as well as the broader community.

"The Swig Company commitment to tenants' health and safety is priority #1 after the global pandemic and we want tenants to know that We are here for you. In addition, sustainability and operational safety is well-documented and the WELL certification that we've now achieved portfolio-wide reinforces our commitment to long term health and safety for our staff and tenants as well as visitors to our buildings," said Connor Kidd, Executive Vice President and Director of Asset Management, The Swig Company.

In addition to WELL Health-Safety ratings, most buildings in the portfolio carry LEED and EnergyStar certifications and The Swig Company is constantly evaluating best practices in sustainability, health and safety.

"We believe the real estate community has a responsibility to minimize the environmental impact of the built environment and its contribution to climate change. At The Swig Company, we are deeply committed to the ongoing reduction of our carbon footprint while providing optimal environments for the health and wellness of our building occupants," said Jim Carbone, CEO, The Swig Company.
