As an additional boon to the businesses headquartered at Pickwick Plaza, owned by Kensico Properties and managed by Hines, the Class-A office complex has earned an Energy Star rating from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is being listed on the Registry of Energy Star Certified Buildings. To qualify for the certification, which signifies the top energy efficient commercial buildings in the country, Pickwick Plaza met a series of strict EPA criteria.
"It is a wonderful achievement for Pickwick Plaza and an honor to be recognized in this way," said Hines senior property manager Glenn Haber, LEED AP. "We work diligently to maintain the highest environmental and aesthetic standards at Pickwick Plaza. This certification is an important acknowledgement for both ownership and management."
Centrally located in the Greenwich Business District with its own branded address, award-winning Pickwick Plaza comprises three separate buildings (one Pickwick, Two Pickwick and Three Pickwick) and an annex. A series of upgrades have been implemented at the 237,844 s/f complex in recent years, such as the renovation of the 846-space on-site, reserved-parking garage, as well as several energy efficient building upgrades. Among the programs currently underway are the revitalization of 9,000 s/f of retail space along Greenwich Ave. and the re-design of the interior plaza with new landscaping, water sculptures and dramatic main entrance.
