Stiles HQ Building Gets LEED Stamp

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL-The commercial developer promotes green office practices.

By Carl Cronan | Updated on August 14, 2009

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL-Locally based Stiles Corp., a statewide developer that has made sustainability part of its mantra, can now back up its words. The firm’s headquarters, 300 Las Olas Place, has become the first multi-tenant office building in Florida to receive a gold rating by the US Green Building Council under its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings (LEED-EB) program.

The 10-story class A building at 300 SE Second St. opened in 2000 and includes various other corporate tenants and professional firms. Stiles worked over the past year and a half to attain LEED-EB certification for the 100,340-square-foot, Mediterranean-style building.

“Given our commitment to green practices, pursuing LEED certification for our corporate home was a must,” says Doug Eagon, Stiles president. “We’re already seeing energy savings that point to payback in the first year, and tracking the operating costs will give us a benchmark to gauge whether the process makes financial sense for existing buildings we own or manage for clients.”
