CELEBRATING THE WORLD’S BEST IN BUILDING HEALTH®

Across the global real estate industry, a powerful shift is underway: health is becoming a core strategy for protecting value, managing risk, and future-proofing assets.

Each year, the Best in Building Health® Awards recognize the industry leaders setting this new standard—organizations and projects that are not only delivering exceptional buildings today, but also shaping a healthier, more resilient real estate market for the future.

These leaders aren’t just responding to market trends—they are defining them.

We celebrate the organizations and innovators advancing the healthy building movement worldwide and helping bring our shared vision to life: Building Health for All®.

Explore the organizations that represent the global leaders advancing building health through innovation, scale, and measurable impact.

Congratulations 2026 Best in Building Health® Winners!

March 26, 2026 — This year’s winners highlight several key shifts shaping the global real estate market. The data shows continued geographic diversification beyond traditional U.S. strongholds, alongside sustained leadership from repeat portfolio-scale organizations that continue to raise the bar year after year. At the same time, Fitwel adoption is accelerating globally, while recertification momentum is expanding internationally as organizations increasingly view building health as a long-term strategy for protecting asset value, managing risk, and strengthening portfolio performance.
