Rochefort Asset Management Invests in Delos Living for Innovative Wellness in Real Estate

In a significant new development in the field of real estate wellness solutions, Rochefort Asset Management has finalized a senior secured financing deal with Delos Living LLC, a prominent innovator in indoor health and building wellness. This investment is geared towards advancing Delos' two key initiatives: its WellCube and Sense+ wellness sensors and the expansion of the Vitacorps military housing wellness program.

Founded on a strong commitment to national security, Rochefort Asset Management operates under the auspices of the U.S. Department of War's Office of Strategic Capital. This partnership not only strengthens Delos's position in the commercial real estate sector but also bolsters wellness offerings for military residences, reflecting a growing recognition of the importance of healthy indoor environments.

Enhancing Indoor Environments With Technology

Delos Living is at the forefront of indoor health innovations, utilizing technology to promote better living conditions across various sectors. Their commercial offerings, WellCube and Sense+, involve an intricate network of sensors that monitor indoor parameters such as air quality, humidity, thermal comfort, lighting, and occupancy. This real-time data allows building owners and operators to gain vital insights into environmental conditions, ultimately leading to improved workplace wellness and operational efficiency.

By integrating with existing building management systems, these innovations enable property managers to stay informed about the indoor climates of their properties, making it easier to spot issues early and implement effective solutions. In this way, Delos is paving the way for a new era of building intelligence that prioritizes health and comfort for occupants.

The Vitacorps Military Housing Initiative

Alongside advancements in commercial properties, Rochefort's support will enhance Delos's Vitacorps program, a joint venture with Corvias designed to improve living conditions in military housing. To date, more than 4,500 U.S. military homes have been equipped with Delos's innovative health solutions. Through the Vitacorps initiative, the focus is on enhancing air and water quality, controlling humidity, optimizing lighting conditions, and providing validation from a third-party to ensure the effectiveness of these solutions.

Recognizing the detrimental effects of substandard housing on both the quality of life and readiness of service members, this partnership aims to create healthier living conditions that positively influence the well-being and performance of those who serve.

The Science Behind the Solutions

Delos has consistently operated at the intersection of health and building science, establishing and administering the WELL Building Standard in collaboration with prestigious research institutions, including the Cleveland Clinic. This standard fosters environments that support health and well-being, and has gained traction globally, with over 3,000 clients, including numerous Fortune 500 companies, endorsing its principles.

Delos further enriches its scientific approach through the Well Living Lab, a research facility created in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, dedicated to advancing our understanding of how indoor environments impact health.

Perspectives on Growth

Commenting on the financing, Jody LaNasa, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Rochefort Asset Management, highlighted the dual advantage of Delos's offerings. "Delos has built two compelling applications from the same foundation in health and building science. Its commercial platform aids property owners in cultivating healthier workplaces, while the Vitacorps program seeks to improve living conditions for military personnel. This financing is pivotal for the growth of both ventures."

Paul Scialla, the Founder and CEO of Delos Living, expressed optimism regarding the future. "This funding enables us to scale two significant parts of our business," he said. "By expanding WellCube and Sense+ across commercial buildings and continuing the growth of our military housing program, our aim is to utilize measurable indoor environmental data to enhance health, performance, and overall quality of life."

As this partnership unfolds, the tangible impacts on both the commercial landscape and military housing can be anticipated. Improved living conditions not only foster enhanced quality of life for occupants but also align with a broader societal goal of prioritizing health and wellness through innovative building solutions.
