HOLLY REAL ESTATE ANNOUNCES GROUNDBREAKING ON MIAMI GREEN

To Be Miami’s First Green Office Building

Miami, Fl – Holly Real Estate, one of Miami’s leading commercial real estate firms, is developing the first green office building in South Florida. A groundbreaking ceremony for this project is scheduled for December 6th with sales commencing the following day.

Currently there are no LEED-designated buildings in South Florida, and only ten in the state, according to the U.S. Green Building Council.

“South Florida enjoys one of the country’s most unique and beautiful ecosystems with the Everglades, our beautiful beaches and lush tropical climate. Green building is not only good for the community and the environment, it also benefits the end-user as well, for example, by reducing operating costs,” said William H. Holly, President of Holly Real Estate. “It just makes sense, and I believe there will be a strong demand for space in Miami Green.”

Holly has high hopes for the 120,000 square foot, 13-story office condo (approximately 9,250 square feet per floor) project that will be located at 3150 SW 38th Avenue, Miami Florida 33134 in the City of Miami adjacent to Coral Gables and US-1. Not only is the project directly across the street from a main line of the Metrorail, but it’s adjacent to a Coral Gables Trolley stop and Metro Dade Bus stop as well. The green glass building will feature a unique L-shaped design allowing each office to have window space, while providing ample parking on the interior of each floor. It will also feature a roof deck that can be used for company function and events.

The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System® is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. The rating level a project achieves is based on a points system which looks at six categories: sustainable sites; water efficiency; energy and atmosphere; materials and resources; indoor environmental quality; and innovation and design process.
