GOING FOR

GOLD

Takenaka International wanted Heron Tower to become the first asset in their

portfolio to pursue and achieve a LEED designation, specifically targeting LEED

Silver. But, the New York Asset Services team of

, Property

Manager, and

Chief Engineer, had another idea:

Gold

The management team worked tirelessly to exceed owner expectations and achieve LEED Gold status through upgraded

plumbing and air conditioning fixtures, as well as a brand new Building Management System (BMS).

“Takenaka’s target at Heron Tower was LEED Silver, and we are beyond pleased to have exceeded the expectation,” Joe

says. “Our vendors and general contractors worked hard to find areas of improvement and sustainability savings where they

demonstrated their ability to meet the strict requirements set forth by the US Green Building Council.”
