Why Go 'Green?'

We're not looking to build a LEED-certified building simply because the City of Boston requires all large-scale developments to meet (if not exceed) the US Green Building standards.

We're going green because we want to be part of the solution to the high greenhouse gas emissions typically found in cities like Boston.

We appreciate fully the policies Mayor Thomas Menino has put into place to mitigate, and adapt to the effects of climate change; especially the following:

  • Article 37, Boston's Green Buildings Standard; and
  • Article 80, Large Project Green Building Review Process.
Our internal planning process takes to heart the lessons forwarded via Mayor Menino's Green Building Task Force Report; with special focus on its "Opportunities for Action" executive summary about the Costs and Benefits of Green Affordable Housing.

We're looking to go green, not only for the energy efficiency, but because we see potent opportunities in developing a mixed-use, cultural arts facility that is self-sustaining environmentally and economically.
