Green Lease for the Commercial Office

Date: 
Thu, 11/05/2009 - 7:30am - 9:00am
Location: 
Commercial Office Interiors 2601 4th Avenue, 7th Floor Seattle WA 98121

Incorporating environmental goals and standards into a lease can seem overwhelming. However, we live in a region and a time where more and more landlords are open to negotiating green lease criteria with tenants. Increasingly, tenants are also realizing that green initiatives (and a greener space) are important to their staff and are vocalizing these needs to prospective landlords.

Join us in a dialogue with a panel of local experts where we’ll uncover answers to the following questions:
·         Are landlords willing to negotiate more in this economic climate?
·         How do I assist my client with driving their interest in a greener building?
·         How are brokers guiding tenants towards greener spaces?
·         What are the incentives to the tenant and the landlord to green a lease?
 
GUESTS
To include a developer, lawyer, broker, and tenant

Being a member of IIDA is more than a professional organization to me.  It is also a conduit to great friendships that have led to so many new opportunities.  Being the Director of the Inland City Center continues to fulfill both my professional and personal goals.

Jeff Miller, Principal, Interior Architects

 

As member of IIDA, in addition to all the direct and indirect benefits you get from being involved in educational opportunities, networking and sharing your experiences with friends and colleagues, you have a real opportunity to participate in advancing the profession as a whole. The sense of accomplishment makes membership and, more importantly active participation, very rewarding and a LOT of fun.

Since joining IIDA, I have attended over 70 CEUs and forums that have significantly added to my knowledge of the industry, practices and trends. The added knowledge helps me communicate with the design community and our clients to promote my organization as a progressive, thought leader in our discipline.

Providence Health & Services - Callison

Project Description:

Callison designed the 135,500 square foot office for Providence Heath & Services to have a classic and timeless design.  The open floor plan has no hard-wall offices exceptf for six exectutive offices and elliptical-shaped work/break rooms.  The shape of the work/break rooms is intented to give relief to the rectilinear building architecture.

The LEED gold headquarters, which open last year, maximizes daylight while providing a flexible work environment that can be expanded as needs evolve.  The project has colorful wayfinding elements and a state-of-the-art conference center.

I attended a City Center NCIDQ study group, with high hopes for keys to passing the exam.  I never expected to find a new client and life-long friend!
