1900 16th St. achieves platinum LEED rating
CBRE and Bentall Kennedy announced in October that 1900 Sixteenth St. was recognized as the first multitenant office building in Colorado to achieve LEED Platinum for Existing Building Operations and Maintenance, administered by the U.S. Green Building Council. The building became one of fewer than 175 buildings globally to earn the Platinum distinction.
Additionally, the 17-story, 400,000-square-foot commercial office building attained a globally unique achievement as the only multitenant building with the combination of simultaneous LEED certifications: LEED Platinum EBOM, LEED Gold Core and Shell and LEED Commercial Interiors for 100 percent of tenant space.
Bentall Kennedy, real estate adviser for building owner Multi-Employer Property Trust, partnered with Trammell Crow Co. to lead the process for LEED CS and CI project certifications.
CBRE’s management and leasing teams collaborated with Bentall Kennedy to complete required documentation and building regulations for LEED CI certifications and LEED EBOM certification.
“1900 Sixteenth St. is an example of the sustainable excellence that can be accomplished when all parties work together during building construction, tenant improvements and property management to achieve a fully sustainable building,” said Bill Mosher, senior managing director, Trammell Crow Co.
“Collaborating with leading real estate investors like Bentall Kennedy to achieve real progress in sustainable building operations is a core part of CBRE’s culture and services,” said Dave Pogue, CBRE’s global director of corporate responsibility. “1900 Sixteenth’s LEED accomplishments are a great win for Bentall Kennedy, our CBRE team in Denver and, most importantly, the community.” A private awards ceremony was held to celebrate the certification.

“Achieving LEED Gold certification at 16 Market Square visually demonstrates our commitment to providing a workplace that promotes sustainable building practices, energy efficiency and lower operating costs, as well as the health and well-being for all occupants” said Jeani McDowell, Cushman & Wakefield general manager. “LEED for Existing Buildings Operations and Maintenance truly takes collaboration between the building owner, the property management and building engineering team, and the building occupants. Our thanks go to the support of our ownership and tenants. This further motivates us to continue implementing sustainable practices that our community and our world require.” To achieve LEED Gold certification, Cushman & Wakefield partnered with Ampajen Solutions to develop a program that would address the major aspects of ongoing building operations and maintenance in five core areas – sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality.
