FORT LAUDERDALE, FL-800 Brickell won the nod from the US Green Building Council. The 208,325-square-foot Downtown Miami office building earned LEED Silver certification—and some new tenants that bring occupancy up to 83%. Stiles and an institutional partner own the asset.

800 Brickell incorporates energy-efficient and sustainable features, such as a computer-operated energy management system that controls the air conditioning and heating while monitoring indoor air quality, electricity-reducing technologies, water-conserving plumbing fixtures and the use of low VOC-emitting paints and sealants. The building also features advanced recycling systems and green cleaning products that are environmentally safe, Green Seal Certified and bio-renewable.

“In the case of 800 Brickell, as it is not a brand new building, the certification reflects the improvements made, the ongoing commitment of both ownership and management in the maintenance of the building to remain at the top in competing for new tenants,” Richard Stein, a senior asset manager for Stiles, tells GlobeSt.com. “Some tenants look for the LEED certification as determining current and future operating costs as they look to minimize expenses.”
