Federal Realty is setting the standard in sustainable tenant-delivered spaces by transforming the industry standard “white box” into a “Green Box.” We’ve long been known for selecting locations in metropolitan areas with high population densities and adding value with a unique mix of high-quality tenants tailored to the surrounding community. Now we are continuing this strategy of sustainability for all new construction and redevelopment by reducing waste, conserving resources, decreasing utilities consumption, and improving construction practices—one tenant at a time.
We are fully aware of the impact our decisions have on the environment. In 2009 alone, we spent over $120 million on design and construction. Without further guidance, these dollars would have been used to deliver retail and office spaces that comply only with building code requirements. By adopting the “Green Box” standards, we are doing our part to incorporate sustainable building practices that go beyond the norm and bring about greener, healthier and more efficient environments for our retail and office tenants and their customers.
