LEED Certification
 | |
| The 10-story, 257k SF 6565 MacArthur at Sierra, a Class A office building near the intersection of SH161 and MacArthur Boulevard achieved a LEED-EB: O&M Silver. Managed by Cousins Properties Services, senior property manager John Wehmeyer tells us the ultimate cost savings in utilities and operating expenses over the long haul make the upfront certification costs worthwhile. Plus, using less electricity and water makes it the right thing to do, he adds. It also attracts tenants: “If you have two like properties, and one is LEED, that building is going to appeal to more tenants.â€. | |
