Setting aggressive sustainability goals that go beyond the city's LEED Gold baseline
465 North Mary
LEED Platinum
465 North Mary has just been certified LEED Platinum! From the inception of this urban-infill office project, DES team has set its sustainability goal beyond City’s LEED Gold baseline. The project has taken full advantage of a robust pedestrian-oriented site design, high-performance building envelope and optimized mechanical system.
“The successful outcome is realized with appropriate sustainable design solutions that perform efficiently and have minimal environmental impacts through its entire life cycle.”
