Green Financing
Ten projects take advantage
of financial tools that promote
environmentally positive
development
With global temperatures
rising, and more national,
state, and local governments
requiring property owners
to meet energy efficiency
standards, developers are
increasingly turning to green
financing strategies. These
tools-which include green
bonds, green construction
loans, Commercial Property
Assessed Clean Energy
(C-PACE) financing, and
state-sponsored programs to
promote energy efficiency-
help developers broaden
the range of equity and
debt sources to tap into
while making it easier to cut
carbon emissions and energy
costs.
The following 10 projects-all
completed during the past five
years-encompass residential
high-rises overlooking Lake
1. 1950 and 2000 Opportunity Way
RESTON, VIRGINIA
Standing across the street from a Metro station, the first phase of
Boston-based BXP's expansion of the 1990s Reston Town Center
consists of two office towers atop a shared podium with shops
and restaurants. Duda|Paine Architects of Durham, North Carolina,
organized the towers around a landscaped central courtyard and
linked them with a connecting floor that contains such amenities
as dining, fitness, and gathering spaces. The bridging floor also
sports a rooftop terrace. A kinetic art wall fitted with mirrored
discs screens from view part of the six-story parking structure.
Michigan, the redevelopment
of New York City's Penn Station,
a senior living facility in
Simi Valley, a heavy timber
office building in Denver's
River North neighborhood, and
a boutique hotel in downtown
Los Angeles.

Seventy percent of the total project costs were funded by
BXP's green bond offerings. Sustainability strategies here reduce
water use by 40 percent and electricity use by 30 percent,
compared to a baseline building. Completed in 2021, the project
contributed to a LEED v4 Neighborhood Development Gold certification.
The complex includes infrastructure for as many as 300
future electric vehicle charging stations. The 22-acre (9 ha) site
is intended to eventually include up to nine new buildings and
seven acres (3 ha) of parks.
