ATLANTA, GA (Sept. 5, 2012) – 55 Allen Plaza (top left photo), a Class-A, 350,000-square-foot office tower in downtown Atlanta that is managed and leased by Lincoln Property Co. Southeast, has achieved LEED Gold certification. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council and administered by the Green Building Certification Institute, the Leadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design (LEED) program provides third-party verification that a building operates in a sustainable manner. Certification is awarded on fourlevels, and Gold is the second-highest level behind Platinum.
LEED certification is based on a number of environmental criteria, and 55 Allen Plaza achieved LEED Gold status because of its indoor air quality, strengthened in part by the use of environmentally cleaning products; its electronics recycling program, which has diverted 250 pounds of electronics from landfills in 2012; its water conservation, which has reduced water consumption by 30 percent; and its overall energy efficiency.
“We are honored and thrilled that 55 Allen Plaza has achieved this environmental honor,” said Tony Bartlett (lower right photo), senior vice president of Lincoln Property Co. Southeast. “This certification is a tribute to the outstanding job that our entire management team has done with 55 Allen Plaza and is a testament to Lincoln’s commitment to taking care of our environment.”
