SOFIA, BULGARIA-Tishman International's A2 office building, a 194,000-square-foot, class A office component of the Sofia Airport Center development, has achieved LEED Gold Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

The recently completed building is a key part of Tishman International's 2.1-million-square-foot (210,000-square-meter) commercial, mixed-use development project. The A2 office building is the only LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certified commercial project in Bulgaria, and one of only three office buildings in the Southeastern European region to achieve this level of USGBC certification.

“This high level of certification is very rarely achieved in Europe,” noted Alan Levy, chairman of Tishman International. “Our office building was planned and constructed to meet the requirements of the LEED certification system from the very beginning.
