Another three-star Fitwel rating

What's Fitwel we hear you ask?

"Fitwel is the world's leading certification system committed to building health for all®."

If you know Moda, you know health and wellbeing is at the core of all we do.

That’s why we’ve asked the world leaders in healthy buildings to score our new neighbourhood, Moda, The Mercian, to make sure it’s living up to our extremely high standards of wellness-focused living. And they liked it so much, they gave it their highest possible rating.

The design, not only of the apartments but the shared spaces. Our values, partners and services. Resident events, the team and the little extras. The outdoor spaces to make moves, enjoy the view and breathe in that air, whatever the weather.

First things first: what do we mean by wellbeing

Quite simply, balance, health, atmosphere, connections, and good vibes!

"Wellbeing can be understood as how people feel and how they function, both on a personal and a social level, and how they evaluate their lives as a whole.” - The Mental Health Foundation.

We try to make this as easy as possible for our residents. Let us tell you a little more…

On the rooftop! Where else in the city can you find a 200m running track on a rooftop terrace? Nowhere, that's where! Sunday runday. Quick 5km - morning, lunchtime or evening. Power walk and talk. Relay races, egg and spoon or remember a three-legged race?
Residents can train together with city views or even encourage a bit of healthy competition. wink

From weights to cardio. Gym selfies to epic views whilst sweating it out...

Equipped with the latest exercise equipment and technology. The neon Moda M - of course! (You know we love a neon sign.) The residents' gym is 24/7, so you can decide when to get that endorphin high.

4. Community, Community, Community

It's at the heart of what we do. With an ambition to combat loneliness, Moda creates a community with its residents. The neighbourhood is designed for social interaction.
Making friends as an adult isn’t easy... from lounges with panoramic views of the city to co-working spaces, a private dining room to a cinema room. Residents can mix and mingle at supper club, cooking classes, art club, book club or just by grabbing a seat and sitting back.

5. Green space in the centre of Birmingham

Residents can enjoy the great outdoors without leaving the city. (Winning.) Your own little urban oasis. Space to read, meet friends, chill out with your pawpal or just catch that fresh air...

With a stunning rooftop garden featuring communal BBQs, it's the perfect excuse to host with the most, when the weather is on our side.

6. Home is where the pets are

Your pet, is our pet. Life (including our mental health) is so much better with dogs, providing comfort and motivation.

Research shows that pet owners tend to be less lonely, have higher self-esteem, exercise more, be more extroverted and be less fearful about getting close to others than non-owners.

We understand furry friends make barking good roommates. So of course, all Moda developments are pet-friendly, we couldn’t have you move without them. There’s no hidden costs or extra charges to bring your bestie.

Moda, The Mercian offers an environment suitable for all. With soundproof walls residents can enjoy the quiet and calm, even on a bustling Saturday evening in the city.
