Landlord, Tenants Get Along, Get Award
Oxford Properties Group is the only Canadian developer to be named a Green Lease Leader, an inaugural program started by the Institute for Market Transformation and the US Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Alliance. It recognizes property owners, tenants, and brokers who incorporate lease clauses as a tool to save energy. (This is why you put things in writing, people. To win awards.) Oxford SVP Andrew McAllan, a 40-year industry vet, oversees retrofitting of Oxford buildings into LEED-certified structures.
In a hectic world, it’s nice to get a pat on the back from others in the industry, Andrew says. Plus it shows "our shared leadership with our tenants" to operate efficient, green buildings. In the image is Oxford’s 401 West Georgia St.
