Acella completes 2,500 s/f Restore Hyper
Wellness at Arsenal Yards

Watertown, MA Acella Construction Corp. has completed a complete build out of the Restore Hyper Wellness center, located at 10 Bond St., within Arsenal Yards. The building is owned by Boylston Properties and the Wilder Companies.

The Acella retail team was provided what is referred to in the construction industry as a “vanilla box” to renovate a 2,500 s/f space in accordance with Restore Hyper Wellness franchise standards. As such, the commercial space has an innovative natural aesthetic in which Restore Hyper Wellness offers cryotherapy, red light therapy, infrared sauna, compression, and a variety of other services.

The project included installation of a new store front, exterior canopy, underground plumbing, fire protection, new HVAC equipment, and ductwork throughout. In addition, acoustical Armstrong ceilings were installed, as was custom millwork. Two restrooms, a shower, laundry service space, changing rooms, and an open reception area completed the project, and large interior glass windows offers additional light and a feeling of spaciousness.

“Once again our Retail Team rose to the challenge of a project that required absolute adherence to specified franchise requirements,” said Ryan LaVangie, vice president of sales and marketing for Acella Construction. “It gives us great satisfaction to see this project come to completion; the Watertown Restore Hyper Wellness is certain to be a welcome addition to popular Arsenal Yards.”
