My concerns about LEED were alleviated by an efficient process, and the result gives our tenants an edge in the marketplace.

Challenge

Design a modern, “green” building to compete with nearby retailers and attract environmentally-conscious customers. Develop shared vision for sustainability and business success between client and tenant.

Solution

Effective communication and progressive design alleviated concerns about green retail design and produced an ultra-efficient building. Advanced plumbing, lighting, heating, and cooling systems combine with air-quality monitoring technology in the store,— sustainable features which L.L. Bean proudly showcases to its customers through tours of the building.
