Today, Delos™, a pioneering wellness real estate and technology firm, and Fuse Cambridge, a 244-unit luxury apartment community located in Cambridge, MA, announce a partnership to offer Well Signature™ apartment homes intended to enhance resident health and wellness. Pioneered by Delos, Well Signature apartments incorporate innovative health and wellness features to create environments designed to actively contribute to wellness by marrying the best innovations in technology, health, science, and design. Fuse Cambridge, developed by Hines and managed by The Bozzuto Group, will be the first property to introduce Well Signature apartment homes in Massachusetts.
“We are thrilled to partner with Hines to bring the Well Signature program to Fuse Cambridge,” said Delos Founder Paul Scialla. “We have long admired the firm’s vision and pioneering commitment to sustainability.”
Well Signature apartments incorporate evidence-based wellness features such as advanced water and air filtration systems and innovative lighting technologies, designed to help improve the fitness, mood, sleep patterns, and performance of its residents.
“Bringing these Well Signature apartments to Fuse Cambridge represents a milestone not only for our community, but also for the state of Massachusetts,” added Hines’ Managing Director Jim Dunlop. “Delos’ dedication to providing wellness-infused housing options is a mission that we firmly stand behind. We look forward to implementing these health and wellness features at Fuse Cambridge, and are confident that our residents will enjoy the added benefits.”
As part of the innovative program, Fuse Cambridge will offer Well Signature upgrade features on one and two-bedroom apartment homes, with Well Signature and Well Signature Plus packages available. Some of the specific features and technologies available will include:
- Advanced Air Purification: Clean air is an essential component of health and respiratory comfort. Well Signature apartments feature a multi-tiered air filtration system that quietly and unobtrusively reduces allergens, toxins, smoke and microbes from the air.
- Circadian Mood Lighting: The body’s circadian rhythm, a biological process that oscillates around a 24-hour cycle, is strengthened and adjusted through the exposure to light. Well Signature residents can personalize the room light environment, emulating the color of natural outdoor light to enhance sleep quality, energy levels and productivity or selecting vibrant colors to enhance ambience.
- Circadian Shower: Well Signature residents can also personalize the shower light environment.
- Blackout Shades: Blackout shades reduce light trespass to improve sleep quality and further help maintain circadian rhythm.
- Aromatherapy: Optional aromatherapy is provided, featuring scents that improve ambience and create a relaxing, mood-enhancing environment.
- Water Purification: Well Signature residences implement a filtration system that reduces impurities providing cleaner water.
- Cleveland Clinic Wellness: Through Delos’ exclusive partnership with Cleveland Clinic, Well Signature residents have access to world-class care through the industry-leading nonprofit academic medical center’s online programs to improve sleep and nutrition and to reduce stress.
- Well Hub: Well Signature residents also have access to curated content that informs viewers of the local time, temperature, conditions and Cleveland Clinic Wellness Tips of the Day.
Fuse Cambridge places a significant focus on the health of its residents through on-site amenities including a fitness center with cardio and strength training areas, an indoor bike storage area complete with a repair station, and a recently installed Living Green Wall, which provides natural air filtration, sound insulation, stress reduction, and thermal regulation. Fuse Cambridge is also situated adjacent to the Alewife Brook Reservation, a 120-acre nature preserve offering direct access to scenic running and biking trails, boardwalks, and playing fields.
In addition to the Well Signature offerings, each apartment home at Fuse Cambridge features oversized floor-to-ceiling windows, full-sized washers and dryers, white quartz countertops, premium kitchens with ENERGY STAR® appliances, walk-in spacious stall showers with spa-quality tile, and Kronoswiss wide plank flooring. Additionally, select homes offer walk-out patios, oversized balconies, and views of the 120-acre Alewife Brook Reservation.
