As proud members of the US Green Building Council, Lee Partners participates in the local Massachusetts Chapter here in Boston. Yesterday they hosted their fifth annual Earth Day dinner, to gather and celebrate Innovations in Design and Green Building. I bumped into some good colleagues and made some new connections. The Chapter has a great group of enthusiastic real estate professionals.
The event was at the large conference room of Space with a Soul, a coworking center for non-profit organizations. They are on Summer Street in the “Innovation District” of Boston. This picture is looking west at the Back Bay – you can see the Hancock Tower and Pru on the left. The location is a great way for small organizations to efficiently use office space – a month-to-month commitment and dedicated space at a reasonable cost.
Winners included Harvard’s Blackstone South project and Devens (MassDevelopment) Sustainable Housing. More on the event can be found here. The submission posters will be on display in the Gallery at Atlantic Wharf until June.
