MIAMI – The Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC), the state’s leading certifier of green commercial and residential construction, land developments and local green governments, has certified Strata Wynwood at 21 NE 22nd St. in Miami “Florida Green” at the high-rise “Gold-Level.”
Layered in its design, amenities, and experiences, the 570,020 square-foot Strata Wynwood achieved 183 points out of a required 100 points, earning it the coveted Florida Green Building “Gold-Level” certification.
“This achievement demonstrates your commitment to construction practices that reduce the negative environmental impacts of the building, improve occupant health and well-being, and reduce operating costs for the owner,” noted FGBC President Kyle Abney.
The FGBC Green Team included Jonathan Burgess, The Spinnaker Group, as the Designated Professional.
Strata Wynwood is owned by Rockpoint, a real estate private equity firm headquartered in Boston with additional domestic offices in San Francisco and Dallas.
Unlike other green certifications, the FGBC “Florida Green” Certification Program tailors’ carbon-reducing, green building standards to the Florida climate, allowing developers to meet green building standards while simultaneously constructing sustainable properties best suited for Florida’s ecosystem.
