Gaedeke's Green Initiatives Land Office Tenant

DALLAS–A landlord’s commitment to energy-saving green initiatives has helped it secure a new tenant. TLC Engineering for Architecture, a 345-person M/E/P and structural engineering firm that specializes in environmentally conscious work, signed a 10-year lease for 9,700 square feet of office space in Gaedeke Group’s Fitzhugh Central at 4131 N. Central Expwy.

According to TLC division director John Piazza, Gaedeke’s alignment with TLC’s goals for sustainability was a major factor in the decision to take space in the property. These goals include diverting at least 75% of demolition and construction waste and debris from landfills through recycling and reuse and having at least 30% of the materials purchased from within 500 miles of the office.

“Sustainability is interwoven in everything we do at TLC,” says Piazza. “More than 30% of our professional staff are LEED accredited, nine of our offices are carbon neutral and our design/commissioning portfolio includes 22 LEED Certified buildings and more than 100 LEED registered buildings. The Gaedeke Group was very sensitive to our desire for an environmentally responsible office space.”
