Nursing mothers have a new benefit at The Square at 205 Hudson in New York City. Hines, the global real estate investment manager, has integrated MilkMate’s breast pumping solution into their wellness rooms at The Square, a premier flexible office space in New York City.
MilkMate provides a multi-user pumping solution for mothers’ rooms, allowing mothers in the Hudson Square portfolio access to an inviting, comfortable and purpose-built space as needed. It includes single-use and multi-use equipment, so moms don’t have to lug their pumping equipment around and store it at the office.
“The MilkMate team and I are thrilled to partner with an organization as value-aligned as Hines,” said Patrice Meagher, founder and CEO of MilkMate. “Their commitment to creating best-in-class and inclusive workplace environments is consistently ahead of the curve, making them an ideal partner in our mission to support working parents.”
In today’s competitive real estate market, attracting and retaining tenants is more critical than ever. According to a survey conducted by CBRE, 42% of employers actively seek to improve their office environments with better amenities to attract and retain talent. For landlords and owners, investing in health and wellness initiatives, hospitality services and outdoor spaces is key to increasing foot traffic and providing an exceptional experience.
“We are dedicated to supporting working parents, especially mothers, as they return to work. Creating inclusive workplaces drives value for employers and landlords while also fostering a culture of equity and support,” said Whitney Burns, senior vice president of global client strategy at Hines. “Partners like MilkMate are essential in providing the resources and spaces needed for everyone to feel valued and supported. Together, we are building a work environment that empowers all employees to thrive both personally and professionally.”
MilkMate’s FDA-cleared breast pumping solution is designed to support working parents, simplifying the return to the office after maternity leave. By incorporating such progressive amenities, real estate stakeholders can enhance their buildings’ appeal, cultivate a vibrant and productive atmosphere and maintain a competitive edge in the evolving amenities landscape.
This MillkMate solution will be available upon The Square’s opening this month.
