McFadden said the innovative two-building, single-story, office/flex-tech complex totaling 118,400 square feet features not only the latest in green development but the finest in tenant stewardship as well.

Designed to exacting specifications developed by the U.S. Green Building Council known as the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System®, Discovery TechCenter II’s LEED-CS Gold pre-certification complies with high-performance standards for sustainable design and construction of core and shell buildings.

Award-winning Baker Barrios Architects, Inc., Orlando, served as project architect.

“Taurus Investment Holdings recognizes and appreciates the environmental benefits resulting from green design, and accordingly we feel this is the proper way to develop,” stated McFadden. “We believe that many elements designed into green buildings will become commonplace within the next decade and we are proud to be on the forefront of sustainable development in Central Florida.” Kelsey Construction, Inc., Orlando, served as general contractor for Building One.
