Although during the past two years homes had to wear many hats, functioning as offices on top of living quarters, the office sector has not remained idle. Perhaps preparing for an anticipated return to the office, office owners and developers invested in environmentally friendly features at their assets to encourage tenants to retain their locations and employees to embrace a hybrid work model.<\/p>\n

According to data from the U.S. Green Building Council<\/a>, Massachusetts occupied the fifth rank among U.S. states in 2021<\/a>, with 10.4 million square feet across 36 projects certified and recertified to a LEED level. The highest recognition\u2014LEED Platinum\u2014was awarded to four properties, which combined a total 720,000 square feet, LEED Gold went to 20 projects (7.5 million square feet), LEED Silver to eight properties (1.7 million square feet) and four properties, totaling 462,000 square feet, received the basic LEED certification.<\/p>\n

In this list, we are presenting some of the largest projects across the state based on data from the USGBC. All projects in this ranking received the LEED Gold (re)certification; the LEED Platinum awarded buildings were of smaller sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
