| San Francisco office of Hines awarded LEED platinum The San Francisco office of Hines, the international real estate firm, announced that 560 Mission Street has received Platinum certification under the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED 2009 for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance Rating System. It is the first multi-tenant building in California to achieve this distinction. 560 Mission Street is Hines' sixth LEED certified property in downtown San Francisco. As a group, 560 Mission Street, 101 California Street, 55 Second Street, 101 Second Street, 100 Montgomery Street and Hawthorne Plaza represent approximately 20% of all LEED certified commercial office space in the CBD. 560 Mission Street is a 667,000 ft² (approx. 61,800 m²), 31-story office building that was developed by Hines in 2002. The property is owned by National Office Partners, a joint venture between Hines and the California Public Employees' Retirement System. With five ENERGY STAR labels and a current rating of 97, the building is 60 percent more energy efficient than the national average office building. This translates into estimated annual greenhouse gas reductions equivalent to removing more than 1,000 cars from the road. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
