CORA Merrick Park becomes Florida’s first condominium to participate in the International WELL Building Institute’s new WELL for residential Program
CORAL GABLES, FL, UNITED STATES, July 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Constellation Group and The Boschetti Group disclosed today that CORA Merrick Park is taking part in the International WELL Building Institute’s (IWBI) WELL for residential program, which marks the first condominium project in Florida to join. The development is aiming for WELL Residence status for its units, demonstrating a dedication to independently validated criteria for occupant health, comfort, and wellness.
Developed by IWBI—the worldwide organization behind the WELL Building Standard—the WELL for residential program offers a scientifically grounded structure for integrating health and wellbeing tactics into the planning, construction, and management of homes. The applicable measures at CORA Merrick Park will undergo third-party confirmation, and once that stage is finished successfully, the units will earn the WELL Residence designation.
Situated at 4241 Aurora Street within Coral Gables’ prestigious Merrick Park area, CORA Merrick Park is a 74-unit boutique condominium presently being built and expected to be finished in 2028. Residence costs start in the $900,000s and reach over $4 million for penthouses. Arquitectonica handled the design, while Urban Robot handled the interiors.
“Luxury today is increasingly defined not only by how a home looks, but by how it supports the way people feel and function every day,” said Eduardo Otaola, Managing Principal at Constellation Group. “By pursuing WELL Residence designation at CORA Merrick Park, we are applying an internationally recognized, third-party framework to our wellness strategy and giving buyers greater confidence that these features are being designed and evaluated to a meaningful standard.”
The WELL for residential program encompasses over 100 tactics targeting air and water purity, illumination, acoustics, temperature comfort, physical activity, and mental health. CORA Merrick Park joins an initial cohort of participating residential initiatives across numerous nations and housing categories, alongside organizations including Lendlease, Corvias, Johnson Development and Cotown.
At CORA Merrick Park, wellness reaches well past the certification structure and into the broader living experience. Spanish wellness consultancy Lamarca Well—originator of Madrid’s inaugural wellness hub—is assembling a thorough wellness initiative centered on longevity, performance, and daily wellbeing. Intended amenities include advanced air and water filtration, acoustic engineering, low-toxicity materials, biophilic design, a fitness and recovery center, infrared sauna, steam room, contrast hydrotherapy pools, red-light therapy, and a rooftop wellness loop. Following completion, wellness concepts will also be woven into property management, including staff education, cleaning procedures, and select food-and-beverage services.
“Health and well-being cannot be delivered through a single amenity; they must be considered throughout the entire living environment,” said Mayra Capriles, Co-Founder of Lamarca Well. “At CORA Merrick Park, that philosophy informs the building systems, materials, amenities, operations and resident experience. The WELL for residential program provides a rigorous framework for evaluating that integrated approach.” The WELL for residential program was crafted over two years with contributions from more than 100 specialists in architecture, engineering, public health, building science, government and real estate. The resulting structure sets up quantifiable criteria for constructing healthier living spaces and delivers third-party confirmation that those criteria have been met.
