107,000 s/f 10 Corporate Dr. at Burlington Centre awarded LEED Gold Certification

According to CB Richard Ellis/New England (CBRE/NE), 10 Corporate Dr., a three-story, Class A office building located in Burlington Centre, has been awarded Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). The 107,000 s/f building, owned by Multi-Employer Property Trust (MEPT), was recognized for maximum operational efficiency with minimal environmental impact. The building, which was delivered in the fourth quarter of 2009, is exclusively leased and managed by CB Richard Ellis. "10 Corporate Dr. is one of the first LEED Gold certificated buildings in the Rte. 128 north submarket and we're honored to be recognized with this distinction," said Jim Crew of Kennedy Associates Real Estate Counsel, Inc., the exclusive advisor to MEPT. LEED certification is recognized as the premier third-party designation for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. 10 Corporate Dr. was evaluated on its sustainability, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, use of recycled or renewable materials, resources and superior indoor air quality. "10 Corporate Dr. has been built to the highest of standards," said CBRE's Kerry Olson, vice president and member of the Burlington Centre leasing team. "With tremendous visibility and signage opportunities, and a healthy, more productive work environment, the building is an excellent place for tenants to call home." 10 Corporate Dr. is situated in the expansive Burlington Centre, a 600,000 s/f master-planned office park. The Class A office park is set on an 80-acre wooded campus with abundant tenant amenities, premier visibility from I-95/Rte. 128, and distant views of the Boston skyline. Burlington Centre is located adjacent to Rte. 3A, just 15 miles northwest of Boston. The park was recently named the Suburban Low-Rise Office Park of the Year by the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA).
