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 revealed today that CORA Merrick Park is taking part in the International WELL Building Institute’s (IWBI) WELL for residential initiative, marking the first condominium project in Florida to do so. The development is seeking WELL Residence certification for its units, underscoring a dedication to independently validated criteria for occupant health, comfort, and well-being.
Established by IWBI—the worldwide entity behind the WELL Building Standard—the WELL for residential program offers a science-based structure for embedding health and wellness approaches into the planning, building, and management of residences. The applicable strategies at CORA Merrick Park will undergo independent third-party assessment, and once that process is successfully finished, its units will earn the WELL Residence designation.
Positioned at 4241 Aurora Street within Coral Gables’ prestigious Merrick Park district, CORA Merrick Park is a 74-home boutique condominium presently under construction and slated for completion in 2028. Home prices start in the $900,000s and go up to more than $4 million for penthouse units. The project is designed by Arquitectonica, with interiors handled by Urban Robot.
“Today, luxury is more and more determined not just by a home’s appearance, but by how it enhances the way people feel and perform each day,” said Eduardo Otaola, Managing Principal at Constellation Group. “By going after WELL Residence designation at CORA Merrick Park, we are using a globally recognized, third-party framework for our wellness approach and providing buyers with stronger assurance that these elements are being planned and verified according to a significant standard.”
The WELL for residential program comprises over 100 tactics related to air and water purity, illumination, sound quality, thermal comfort, physical activity, and psychological wellness. CORA Merrick Park joins an initial wave of participating residential developments spanning various nations and housing categories, alongside entities such as Lendlease, Corvias, Johnson Development, and Cotown.
At CORA Merrick Park, wellness goes well beyond the certification structure and permeates the full resident journey. Spanish wellness firm Lamarca Well—designer of Madrid’s inaugural wellness hub—is overseeing a comprehensive wellness initiative centered on longevity, performance, and daily well-being. Planned highlights consist of advanced air and water filtration, acoustic design, low-toxicity materials, biophilic concepts, a fitness and recovery center, infrared sauna, steam room, contrast hydrotherapy pools, red-light therapy, and a rooftop wellness path. After completion, wellness concepts will also be woven into property management, covering staff instruction, cleaning procedures, and selected food and drink services.
“Health and wellness cannot be provided through just one amenity; they have to be addressed across the complete living environment,” said Mayra Capriles, Co-Founder of Lamarca Well. “At CORA Merrick Park, that philosophy shapes the building systems, materials, amenities, operations, and resident experience. The WELL for residential program delivers a thorough framework for assessing that holistic method.” 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 defines quantifiable methods for cultivating healthier living spaces and offers third-party confirmation that those methods have been put into practice.
