Since 1992, ENERGY STAR has been at the forefront of promoting energy efficiency in the U.S., and we're proud to have been an ENERGY STAR partner since 2015. Many of our properties, including The Exchange at Larkspur Landing, Waterfront Plaza, Rialto on New Montgomery, Levi’s Plaza, Brunswig Square, and 18 Tremont, have earned ENERGY STAR designations for their energy-efficient operations. ? As part of our commitment to sustainability, we encourage our tenants to consider becoming ENERGY STAR partners. This involves tracking and benchmarking energy performance, implementing plans to improve efficiency using the ENERGY STAR strategy, and educating both staff and the public about their achievements. ? Today, on ENERGY STAR Day, we celebrate our collective commitment to energy-efficient buildings. Thanks to ENERGY STAR and its partners, more than 4 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions have been prevented since the program's inception, and tenants and individuals have saved over $500 billion in energy costs. ? #sustainability #ESG #commercialrealestate #CRE

While cities contribute positively to the environment by reducing urban sprawl and enhancing public transportation, they can create localized heat islands due to the concentration of buildings and human activities. For instance, a New York City block feels, on average, nearly 10 degrees hotter than a nearby rural area would, according to research nonprofit Climate Central, Inc. One of the best ways to mitigate heat island effect is through effective and creative use of rooftops. From solar panels, found on the roof of The Exchange at Larkspur Center in California, to green roofs like the one at Pier 57 in New York, these strategies help to reduce overall temperatures. Solar panels not only cool buildings by absorbing sunlight but also generate clean energy, while green roofs provide insulation and reduce surface temperatures through vegetation. These measures, combined with urban forests and increased green spaces, create sustainable urban environments that balance the benefits of densification with the need for cooler, more comfortable city living. For more on how the green roof at Pier 57 helps combat urban heat island effect, see the story from abc7NY: https://lnkd.in/eAZj2tUV #commercialrealeastate #CRE #Sustainability #UrbanPlanning

Yesterday, we gathered to honor the legacy of Irwin B. Cohen with the unveiling of Irwin B. Cohen Way. The ceremony, hosted by Councilman Erik Bottcher and attended by NY State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal, took place on what would have been Irwin’s 91st birthday at the corner of 15th St. & 9th Ave. Irwin Cohen, who passed away at 90, was a true visionary instrumental in transforming the abandoned Nabisco Factory into the culinary hub we know today as Chelsea Market. Cohen's vision and leadership helped to turn a disregarded space into a destination that showcases the diverse tapestry of New York's culinary offerings. In addition to stimulating economic and cultural growth in the area, Cohen fostered a sense of community among the residents, businesses, and artisans who work and thrive in Chelsea Market and the surrounding area. His efforts shaped the fabric of the city and the millions of residents, workers, and visitors have him to thank for much of the growth that spawned from his work. #commercialrealestate #CRE #newyork #meatpacking

Utilizing all aspects of a property, including rooftops, is crucial for maximizing our spaces and enhancing sustainability efforts. We recently installed a 350-kilowatt solar energy system at The Exchange at Larkspur Landing, an office campus in Larkspur, CA, north of San Francisco. Our partnership with Wunder aims to deliver energy cost savings and reduce the property's environmental impact by generating 570,320 kilowatt hours of power annually, offsetting over 878,370 pounds of CO2 emissions. With U.S. Green Building Council LEED certified Platinum or Gold buildings, ample green space, and local honeybee hives, The Exchange at Larkspur Landing is a prime example of our sustainability program in action. #commercialrealestate #CRE #sustainability #innovation

At our historic properties, we view ourselves as temporary torchbearers of the rich history and stories they hold. Our mission is to honor a building's legacy while updating it for modern tenants and visitors. Navy Yard Charleston exemplifies the value of preserving historic sites. Established in 1901, the Charleston Naval Base significantly contributed to national defense and local industry, spanning 1,575 acres along the Cooper River. Its activities ranged from shipbuilding to essential wartime operations, making it a cornerstone of Charleston's economic and social fabric. Though the base closed in the 1990s, it is in the process of being reborn as Navy Yard Charleston. This year saw the delivery of the Storehouse Nine live/work units and makers studios, welcoming artists and craftspeople back to this historical area. Navy Yard Charleston seeks to celebrate, amplify, and cultivate new opportunities for the people, businesses, makers, purveyors, and innovators of the region and beyond.
