Manhattan, NY Green Office Space
Less than 1% of the office buildings in Manhattan are LEED certified, which some may find surprising, given that this is what many would argue is the #1 office market in the world.

Along the Avenue of the Americas, the Time-Life Building at 1271 Avenue Of The Americas holds a LEED-silver certification and the Hearst Tower at 300 West 57th Street in Midtown became the first LEED-platinum commercial office buildings in Manhattan. Tenants seeking Class A space are more likely to demand LEED certified office space in Manhattan from landlords, as the Leadership in Energy and Efficiency Design designation emphasizes an overall efficiency status..
