1000 Social Earns WELL Certification

A Milestone in Health & Wellness: WELL Certification

We’re also proud to celebrate a major milestone for 1000 Social itself. At the end of 2025, the building officially earned WELL Certification, making it the first building in Raleigh to be both WELL and LEED certified—a rare and meaningful achievement.

WELL Certification focuses on how buildings impact the health and well-being of the people inside them. It evaluates factors such as air and water quality, natural light, thermal comfort, movement, nourishment, mental health, and overall occupant experience. In short, it’s about creating spaces that actively support healthier, happier lives.

For The Exchange Raleigh, wellness has always been a core value—not just a buzzword. From walkability and access to outdoor spaces to thoughtfully designed buildings and community-driven programming, our goal is to create an environment where people truly thrive. Achieving WELL Certification at 1000 Social reflects that commitment and reinforces our belief that great places are built with people at the center.
