CHICAGO, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally managed daily NAV REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX) with more than $3.5 billion in portfolio assets and 85 properties, is pleased to announce The Penfield, a Class A, 254-unit apartment community in St. Paul, Minnesota, has been recognized as part of the "Best in Building Health" awards administered by the Center for Active Design's Fitwel program. The award was given for the 2020 Highest Score: Multifamily Residential v2.0 (Built) category.

"We're extremely proud to have The Penfield recognized for its industry-leading, health-focused design," said Allan Swaringen, JLL Income Property Trust President & CEO. "We pride ourselves on investing in properties that provide safe, healthy and inspirational living spaces for residents, and that ethos is especially important now as we begin to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic."

Elena Alschuler, LaSalle Americas Head of Sustainability said: "As a Fitwel Champion, we are working hard to scale Fitwel across our portfolio. The program's rigorous standards ensure our residents' well-being is a top priority, which ultimately accrues to the benefit of our investors, as well."

In 2020 The Penfield became the first-ever apartment community in Minnesota to receive a Fitwel rating. The property received a two-star rating, the second highest designation from Fitwel, given its proximity to parks, playground and bike share, an attached grocery store, indoor air quality policies, and units that minimize noise and maximize natural views.

The award builds on JLL Income Property Trust's continued focus on sustainability, health and wellness, which was also recognized in 2020 through a three-star GRESB rating, and the one-star Fitwel certification of 180 N. Jefferson, a multifamily property in Chicago.

Created by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and U.S. General Services Administration, Fitwel certifies that buildings meet the health and wellness needs of the people who use them. Using a certified double-blind method created by health professionals, the certification accounts for factors in 12 categories such as location, indoor spaces, water supply and emergency procedures.
