Boston Properties’ Atlantic Wharf has been designated LEED Platinum under the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) LEED Core & Shell program. 

"This LEED Platinum designation marks not only a great milestone for Boston Properties, but also for the city of Boston and our innovative work in green building and development," said Boston Mayor Thomas Menino.

A collaborative development between the city of Boston and Boston Properties, Atlantic Wharf is located on Boston’s Waterfront, bordering Boston’s Innovation District and Fort Point Channel. Sustainable design was applied throughout the development, including storage and reuse systems, energy conserving mechanical and green roofs.  

Atlantic Wharf received the USGBC LEED Platinum rating for Core and Shell, a green building rating system for designers, builders, developers and new building owners who want to address sustainable design for new core and shell construction, covering base building elements such as structure, envelope and HVAC systems.
