Frequently Asked Questions

The suites can range from 350 sf (serving ~200k sf CRE) to 1,400 sf (serving 3.4 MM sf CRE).  We work with the landlord to recommend optimal suite sizes based on  user experience, tenant makeup, density of the building, and Fitwel/WELL/ESG goals.  We can work with smaller footprints based on the building’s availability as our app allows for real time booking and management.

Our suites can contribute up to 4.75 points. A lactation suite is the highest ranking line item on the Fitwel scorecard.

The cost depends on the market, existing conditions, suite size, etc. but on average fully dedicated lactation Suites cost $150 – $200/sf. A Work & Mother suite is a compact footprint so overall CapEx is budget-friendly.
