This May, Empire State Realty Trust was named a 2022 Platinum Green Lease Leader. It is one of a select few to receive the highest Platinum recognition.
What is a Green Lease Leader?
Green Lease Leaders – awarded by the US Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Alliance and the Institute for Market Transformation – sets the national standards for what constitutes a green lease and recognizes landlords and tenants who modernize their leases to spur collaborative action on energy efficiency, cost savings, air quality, and sustainability in buildings.
ESRT Goes Platinum
