While it reads much like a pitch to sell office space, Andy Hemmer of AndyHemmer.com has posted a fantastic article about green development, its financial and health benefits, and how Neyer Properties is incorporating it into its Keystone Park project in Evanston.
Neyer Properties President Dan Neyer hopes to achieve LEED Silver Level Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
His article lists seven specific design elements that are being used to help make this happen.
At buildout, Keystone Parke will also include a 10-story, 240,000-square-foot office building with restaurant and retail space; a 7-story, 160,000-square-foot office building; a 4-story, 69,000-square-foot office building and improvements to Evanston Playfield.
