ORLANDO, FL – Boston-based Taurus Investment Holdings, LLC, has construction under way on the new, sustainable 62,500-square-foot Discovery TechCenter II, Building One, Central Florida’s first environmentally-friendly LEED-CS Gold office complex at 2600 Discovery Drive in the Central Florida Research Park, Orlando, FL, according to Jeff K. McFadden,(top right photo) SIOR, Managing Partner of its Winter Park-based subsidiary Taurus Southern Investments, LLC.
McFadden said the innovative two-building, single-story, office/flex-tech complex totaling 118,400 square feet will feature not only the latest in green develop
ment 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, serves as project architect.
“Taurus Investment Holdings recognizes and appreciates the environmental benefits r
esulting 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, serves as general contractor for the project.
“Thanks to the countless sustainable features we’ve incorporated into our Discovery TechCenter II, the reduced operating costs associated with this building will positively influence out tenants’ bottom lines,” McFadden said..
Additionally, the landscape irrigation system will be supplied from an on-site retention pond which, when equipped with a meter, can be connected to a gray water system that will run through Central Florida Research Park. As a result, it is anticipated that Discovery TechCenter II will use 90% less potable water than a conventional building and will save more than 450,000 gallons of water per year.
“Taurus Southern’s successful track-record is the result of mutual trust and integrity,” said McFadden. “Enduring client relationships,” he added, “are the result of consistent performance in the marketplace and we are poised to expand our presence in key markets throughout Florida.”
