265 Franklin
The state-of-the-art fitness and wellness hub at 265 Franklin blends innovative design with functionality to support active, balanced lifestyles for tenants.
SGA has led a transformative repositioning of 265 Franklin Street’s tenant amenities, creating a state-of-the-art fitness and wellness hub featuring spa-inspired locker rooms and an outdoor exercise area designed to support a balanced, active lifestyle for tenants.
SGA maximized the compact space through thoughtful programming and introduced a mezzanine level that delivers a comprehensive wellness experience accentuated by an inspiring mix of bold, high-contrast colors, rubber flooring, and custom lighting solutions. The fitness center is crafted to motivate while providing a rejuvenating retreat. This immersive design creates a unique contrast to the building’s classic marble lobby, supporting an environment where individuals can step away from work and focus on personal health.
An outdoor exercise area creates a direct link between the interior and exterior, allowing for open-air activity and relaxation. The curated, sleek, durable furnishings for the building’s lobby, the fitness center’s spa-like locker rooms, and the grab-and-go lounge offer healthy pre- and post-workout refreshments. The lounge, thoughtfully positioned as a transition between the lobby and fitness center, unifies both spaces.
Tactful design solutions addressed key challenges, including accommodating ceiling height requirements for workout equipment, integrating acoustic treatments, and ensuring compliance with ADA standards. The open, industrial ceiling—finished with a specialized spray to maintain acoustics and visual appeal— preserves functionality and aesthetics, while the mezzanine’s newly installed lift ensures inclusive access for all users.
With a focus on innovative design and user needs, SGA’s newly revitalized amenities of 265 Franklin Street reflect a modern approach to workplace design, redefining how occupants work, recharge, and thrive.
