Our real estate attorneys regularly work with clients on green building issues, including sustainable building and design, renewable energy, green management, and LEED certification. The rapidly changing standards and requirements of this area and the associated certification processes make it all the more important that clients are assisted efficiently through the many options. Specifically, we have experience in all five building categories that the LEED system has identified:
- Sustainable Sites
- Water Conservation
- Energy and Atmosphere
- Materials and Resources
- Indoor Environmental Quality
In addition, Holland & Hart recently served as counsel--from land acquisition, annexation and entitlement, construction contracting, financing, and incentive tax and grant assurances--for the first sustainable, built-green, 100% affordable, HUD-financed apartment complex. We have served as counsel on a variety of other mixed-use, residential, commercial, and other green-built development projects.
