Downtown Occupancy Downtown’s office occupancy rate remains steady at about 82%. Downtown holds about 4.1 million square feet of office space with 761,364 square feet available for lease. Vacant office properties available are mainly in six properties: ♦Bank of America Plaza ♦One Union National Plaza ♦Victory Building ♦Former KARK-TV Building ♦Metropolitan Tower ♦Pyramid Building

Hank Kelley, CEO of Flake and Kelley Commercial, said, “The good news is there is no spec building space with appreciable amounts of space on the market. Absorption is slow and construction nil. It’s a good time to be a tenant, if you fit the size space available.” “Downtown Little Rock office space is a bargain,” said Tommy Lasiter of Doyle Rogers Company. “Rental rates are most competitive; amenities are very good; the geography of downtown Little Rock to all of Central Arkansas and to anywhere else is excellent. Building owners are accommodating, and the market conditions are right for prospective users to make their move to Downtown Little Rock.” Kevin Hutchingson of Colliers International adds, “The downtown office market continues to gain momentum with positive absorption in the last few years coupled with the continued River Market revitalization. Despite the national trends in the economy, we expect the Little Rock urban office core to maintain its upward trending growth pattern and remain a desirable place to conduct business for years to come. Although rental rates have edged upward recently, they are still far below the average of larger cities.” “Over the past decade we have witnessed downtown Little Rock’s transformation into an attractive, busy community ripe with new business, tourism and residential neighbors,” said Wyck Nisbet, president of Downtown Little Rock Partnership. “The progress made has truly been an accomplishment of our community’s most dedicated leaders who have supported the vision of a renewed Downtown.”

Pulaski Empowerment Zone Pulaski County is one of seven urban areas to receive an Empowerment Zone (EZ) designation from the Department of Housing and Urban Development . The designation is designed to support growth and revitalization opportunities for distressed areas of communities, and is part of a business tax incentive package valued at $17 to $22 billion nationwide. The designation period is presently from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2009. The Pulaski County designation is a collaborative partnership effort among Little Rock, North Little Rock, Pulaski County Government, University of Arkansas Little Rock, Pulaski Enterprise Community, Rose Law Firm, Arkansas Department of Economic Development, Little Rock Chamber of Commerce, private businesses, and local financial institutions. Empowerment Zone benefits are for the For-Profit business owner with an office within the EZ who also has an employee/s living within the EZ. The tax incentives available can make a substantial difference to the bottom line and be a defining factor in the selection of a business location. Each EZ incentive offered is designed to meet the specific needs of a business and offer inducements to locate and hire additional workers. The Pulaski County Empowerment Zone (PEZA) is proud to have Community Bakery Owner, Joe Fox, as an advocate for taking advantage of the federal tax Incentives. Fox said, “I encourage all businesses to research the possibility of using the incentives to help their bottom line.” Fox noted during a recent EZ Workshop that the credits helped his bottom line so much that he established a “bonus pool” for his employees with the money he saved. PEZA salutes Fox’s commitment to downtown Little Rock and employment of residents within the zone. Other companies taking advantage of the credits include Mr. Klean Carpet & Janitorial, Mountaire Feeds Inc., and many more. “It’s easy to file for credits” said Eyona Mitchell, director of the Pulaski Empowerment Zone. “Just check with you accountant.” The PEZA boundary area is comprised of 15 census tracts within downtown Little Rock and North Little Rock that will receive tax breaks and regulatory relief to help businesses provide more jobs and promote community

revitalization. There are also three “EZ Developable Site” areas in addition to the primary designation area. They are: Little Rock Port site; Downtown Little Rock Riverfront site; and the University/Asher site. AVAILABLE TAX BENEFITS THROUGH PEZA TAX CREDITS Wage credits are especially attractive to growing businesses. A business is able to enjoy up to a $3,000 credit against its federal tax liability for every newly hired or existing employee who lives in the EZ. Work Opportunity Credits allow EZ businesses up to $2,400 against their Federal tax liability for each employee hired from groups with traditionally high unemployment rates or other special employment needs, including youth who live in the EZ. Welfare to Work Credits offer EZ businesses a credit of up to $3,500 (in the first year of employment) and $5,000 (in the second year) for each newly hired long-term welfare recipient. TAX DEDUCTIONS A business located within an EZ may claim an increased expense deduction of up to $35,000 for depreciable property such as equipment and machinery acquired after December 31, 2001. Environmental Cleanup Cost Deductions allow businesses to deduct costs for cleanup in Brownfields. CAPITAL GAINS Businesses located within EZs can postpone or partially recognize the gain on the sale of certain assets including stock and partnership interests. This incentive can significantly reduce the capital gains tax liability on businesses located in the EZ. BOND FINANCING Tax-Exempt Facility Bonds help EZ businesses to receive lower-cost loans to finance property, purchase equipment, and develop business sites. Qualified Zone Academy Bonds allow state and local governments to match no-interest loans with private funding sources to finance public school renovations and programs. State or local government can issue the bonds at

zero per cent interest cost to them to finance certain public school programs with private business partnerships. The private business must contribute money, equipment, or services equal to ten per cent of the bond proceeds which may qualify as a charitable contribution.

OTHER INCENTIVES New Markets Tax Credits provide a credit for investors against their federal taxes of 5 to 6 percent of the amount invested in a distressed area. Low Income Housing Tax Credit provides credit against federal taxes for owners of newly constructed or renovated rental housing.

Downtown’s Diverse Economy I

t was a hectic couple of days recently for the 28 employees of Stephens Media: Putting out seven Pulaski and Lonoke county newspapers, producing special sections and keeping up with the latest Central Arkansas happenings at the News Bureau, all while settling into their new 9,100-square-foot digs at the corner of Main and Second streets. Just steps away from President Clinton Avenue, the quickly growing Arkansas media outlet’s new office is in a neighborhood that’s already home to several other newspaper notables: The Arkansas “The Times, Arkansas Business and the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Stephens Media publisher and bureau chief, Dennis Byrd, said he’s hoping to bring a “synergy” to the company’s operations. “Downtown is vibrant and full of positive energy,” he said. “We hope we can feed off that and contribute to it as well. Downtown is traditionally the center of activity. Although that wasn’t the case for either Downtown Little Rock or the Argenta area of North Little Rock for many years, both areas are seeing a resurgence that should carry the day for the foreseeable future.” “We’re glad to have them,”said Sharon Priest, executive director of the Downtown Little Rock Partnership, which is located a couple of blocks further down Main Street. While Downtown’s museums, restaurants, residences and attractions are essential to

10 d o w n t o w n

l i t t l e r o c k pa r t n e r s h i p • 2 0 0 8

its development as a diverse and vibrant neighborhood, the foundation that supports all those amenities is Downtown’s growing economic viability. Recruiting new businesses to Little Rock’s urban center is a never-ending job for city leaders and organizations like the Downtown Little Rock Partnership. “For businesses wanting to locate Downtown, we’ve got great demographic information they can use to help apply for other loans and to

the convenience for any company that does business with the State of Arkansas. There are economic incentives available to businesses that are considering locating Downtown. The Pulaski Empowerment Zone program, for instance, offers federal tax incentives for certain businesses that locate within a designated area. There are also grants from Pulaski County available to help pay for cleaning up contaminated property, also known as Brownfields, like the one that is now home to

m o r e p e o p l e w e h a v e d o w n t o w n t h e b e tt e r . ” create a business plan,” Priest said. In some ways, the neighborhood sells itself, she added. The airport’s proximity has always been convenient for business travelers working in Downtown since the airport is only 4 ½ miles away. Having an airport so close to the central business district is unusual for a city the size of Little Rock. “The walkability is a huge benefit, too,” she said. “In West Little Rock, unless there’s a restaurant in your building, you’re getting in your car to go to lunch.” From the Partnership office, she continued, there are more than dozen restaurants within easy walking distance, and that number continues to grow. Office rental prices are competitive with other areas of town, and there’s no beating

Heifer International’s world headquarters. Some of the biggest news on the economic front is the AT&T Cost Center, which added about 125 jobs to Downtown, and the Entergy Corporation and Science Applications International Corporation’s purchase of the former Central Arkansas Library System’s main branch building on the corner of Seventh and Louisiana streets. Plans are to convert the 76,000-square-foot building into one of Entergy’s two primary data centers. The purchase and renovations will total about $41 million, and will be home to 20 employees and will also create about 100 new professional jobs in Little Rock with an annual payroll of about $8 million. “The more people we have Downtown the better,” Priest said.

This is part of a series of bi-weekly updates from the Mayor addressing various topics of interest to the citizens of Little Rock. Message from the Mayor March 31, 2009 Little Rock’s Economy Strong amid National Recession Not a day has gone by in the last 6 months without a headline in the newspaper proclaiming our economic woes, the stock market is reeling, banks are bellying up, and bailout after bailout is being requested. Like many of you, I have watched closely as communities around the country confront dire situations in which they have proposed severe budget cuts and even layoffs of police officers. The City of Atlanta laid off 441 employees and cut an additional 347 vacant positions when it faced a projected $60 million budget deficit. The City of Memphis faces a $12 million deficit this fiscal year and a $25 million deficit next fiscal year and is offering a buyout to its city employees. The City of Austin has seen a 4% fall in sales tax revenue, is cutting $15 million from its budget and has implemented a hiring freeze. Detroit, New York, Philadelphia and other cities are looking at huge deficits, massive layoffs and sales tax increases. Nationwide, 2 of 3 state or local law enforcement agencies have reported budget cuts or hiring freezes. The number of police officers per capita across the country has been reduced by 9% since 2000. Not so in Little Rock. No layoffs are planned and we are currently advertising for new recruits to our police and fire departments. I am pleased to report that the City of Little Rock is maintaining a stable financial outlook, and increasing tax revenue, during these uncertain times. While many cities face falling revenues and massive cuts in city services, Little Rock continues to buck the national trend with a modestly healthy economy, housing market and low unemployment rate despite the economic crisis we find ourselves in. The city’s sales tax collections for 2008 rose 3.6% as compared to 2007’s collections and 1% over the 2008 budget. And while sales tax revenue for January 2009 was down 1.79% from the previous year, this is much less of a negative impact than other cities have experienced and only slightly increases the sales tax growth rate we need to meet our 2009 budget. Additionally, our Advertising and Promotion Commission collected 6% more revenue in 2008 than in 2007, which means that our restaurants and hotels have been attracting guests and tourists throughout the national economic downtown. As a result of this success, the A&P Commission was able to put $1.4 million into its reserve accounts earlier this year

A Good Stock Over the past year, many companies have announced plans to open new businesses in Little Rock or to expand their current businesses here, which will create 1,912 new jobs and, while some companies have closed or announced layoffs, Little Rock has seen a net gain of 950 jobs from the previous year. Some of the biggest announcements of the past year include: Polymarin Composites – 630 jobs; Dassault Falcon Jet – 319 jobs; Hawker Beechcraft Corporation – 150 jobs; Wind and Water Technology – 200 jobs; Southwest Power Pool – 124 jobs; Sage V Foods – 60 jobs; Cameron Valves – 50 jobs. Thanks to our economic development successes, Little Rock has been recognized nationally. Earlier this year, Southern Business and Development magazine placed Little Rock at the top of its list of Southern cities that are having banner years in economic development. The magazine proclaimed, “If Little Rock were a stock, I’d buy shares in it.” Additionally, earlier this month, Site Selection magazine named Little Rock as one of four cities – along with Austin, TX; Baton Rouge, LA; and Oklahoma City, OK – that is “shining through a cloudy economy,” citing these four cities as some of the best examples of how to navigate through a recession. The magazine recognized Little Rock’s success in attracting businesses in the wind industry as one of the leading factors in our economic growth. In February, the front page of USA Today ballyhooed Little nd Rock’s stable economy and the Los Angeles Times proclaimed Little Rock “on a roll” in a story on March 22 .

While many cities across the country are suffering from falling housing markets, Little Rock has mostly avoided that calamitous situation. In January, Forbes magazine named Little Rock as one of the country’s 25 strongest housing markets. Earlier this year, U.S. home resales hit a 12-year low, while the median sales price of previously owned homes in the Little Rock metropolitan area rose 3%. Compare this to the National Association of Realtors announcement last week the national median home price had fallen 15.5% in February as compared to the same time a year ago. While other cities have encountered devastating foreclosure rates and other housing problems, Little Rock has mostly avoided the crisis as compared to other parts of the country. As the national economy has worsened, unemployment rates have risen in many communities across the country. Thanks to aggressive economic development efforts, Little Rock’s employment rate is 94.1%, according to the latest figures. Our unemployment rate of 5.9% is lower than the state-wide rate of 7.3% and is considerably lower than many other cities in the state, including Fort Smith (7.7%), Hot Springs (7.2%), Jonesboro (6.2%) and Pine Bluff (9.4%). Other cities in our neighboring states are experiencing unemployment rates much higher than our own, including Memphis (8.3%), Jackson, MS (7.1%), Nashville, TN (8.0%), Austin, TX (6.4%), Shreveport, LA (7.3%) and Birmingham, AL (7.4%). According to the latest Manpower Employment Outlook Survey released two weeks ago, the employment outlook for the Little Rock nd area is ranked among the top 10 in the nation. Area employers expect to hire at a healthy pace during the 2 quarter of 2009. 22% of area companies interviewed said they plan to hire more employees and another 62% expect to maintain their current staff levels. Little Rock has to date been weathering the economic storm quite nicely.

Sincerely,

Mark Stodola Mayor

Downtown’s Charitable Side A

lthough it’s best known as the state’s seat of government, the financial center, and the home of a growing population who refer to themselves as Arkansas’s first true urbanites, Downtown Little Rock also has a gentler, more caring face. Following the lead of former President Bill Clinton, who insisted that the $165 million William J. Clinton Presidential Center and his nonprofit foundation be headquartered Downtown, other nonprofit organizations such as Heifer International, the Charles A. Frueauff Foundation and Winrock International have made their homes Downtown, and have found a warm welcome there. Now, those nonprofit giants are awaiting new neighbors, including Lions World Services for the Blind and CareLink. Hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world visit the Clinton Library each year, and its next-door neighbor, Heifer International, hopes to draw a quarter-million more when its Global Village educational center is complete. For now, Heifer’s Public Information Director Ray White said, two or three groups a day visit the organization’s $17.5 million headquarters, many of them there to see the building’s award-winning “green” design. The building earned an Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects’ Gulf States region in 2007, as well as a platinum LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating from the U.S. Green Building Council. It has also been named one of the National American Institute of Architects Committee on the Environment’s (COTE) Top Ten Green Projects of 2007; received the Chicago Institute of Architects American Architecture Award in 2007; was named the American Institute of Steel Construction (AICS) Awards Program’s National Winner; and won a regional award from the Environmental Protection Agency for Brownfield redevlopment. Heifer additionally received five other state and regional awards for the building. But the nonprofit isn’t content to rest on its laurels. It recently began construction on the second phase of its Downtown complex, the

16 d o w n t o w n

l i t t l e r o c k pa r t n e r s h i p • 2 0 0 8

$10 million Murphy Keller Education Center, scheduled for completion in spring 2009. It will house interactive exhibits on Heifer’s efforts to combat hunger around the world, and will include meeting space for use by local and national hunger and development organizations. Like Heifer’s headquarters, the education center will be built using “green” construction principles. Plans even call for a roof topped off with a layer of grass, which will help keep the building cool. The third phase of Heifer’s building plans is the Global Village complex, which will showcase the realities of life in eight third-world countries as well as North America. Construction will begin once the educational center is complete. The organization’s officials have said they hope to draw about 250,000 people each year to learn about global poverty and how Heifer works to eradicate it. The Frueauff Foundation is the first of the new nonprofits — the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation, which awards money to Arkansas nonprofits, has been on Eighth Street since 1976 — to relocate from West Little Rock to Downtown. The foundation, which awards grants to other nonprofits in the education, health and social services sectors, came to Little Rock in 1996. Its new office in the Capital Commerce Building on South Commerce Street opened last year. The Frueauff Foundation purchased close to 4,300 square feet on the building’s ground floor, formerly occupied by Arvest Bank. Its administrative offices occupy some of the space, but a large portion of it is set aside for a “nonprofit incubator,”providing low-cost space and technical support to smaller, growing charitable organizations. “We wanted to be Downtown,” said Anna Kay F. Williams, the foundation’s vice president of programs and communications.“We knew we wanted to be

in that area supporting the nonprofit growth. That was definitely our focus. “We are thinking that nonprofits will come in for probably a minimum of two years, potentially up to four, to have office space,” Williams said. Already, the Frueauff Foundation has made room for four other nonprofits. The River Market District location should make it easier for budding nonprofits to get

Heifer International World Headquarters

noticed, Williams said. Convenience was a factor when Lions World Services for the Blind decided to build its new facilities in Downtown’s growing nonprofit corridor. The nonprofit worked for two years to acquire all the Downtown property it needed, at a total cost of between $3 million and $4 million. Now, the 62-year-old agency, currently

operating out of a small complex on Fair Park Boulevard, is in the very earlier stages of what its president and CEO, Romona Sangalli, called the “Campus Campaign.” The goal is to build an approximately $25 million, 167,000-square-foot campus on Sixth Street, between Collins and College streets. It’s the highest point in the area just east of I-30, and the nonprofit organization hopes to benefit from the number of people who will see the headquarters as they drive by. Lions provides a range of services to the visually impaired from around the world, including work training, household management classes, specialized education and counseling. The organization has the resources to fly clients in from other countries, but currently has a waiting list because it doesn’t have enough room to accommodate everyone who needs its services. At its current location, Sangalli said, the organization can house 70. After the first of three phases of the new campus is complete, that number will grow to 100. “We will be able to offer more services,” Sangalli said. The new complex will have more dormitory rooms, additional classroom and office space, a 300-seat

auditorium and room for outdoor activities. Special attention will be given to architectural features designed for the benefit of the vision-impaired. Sangalli said that the Downtown area offers Lions’ clients convenience: It’s close to the airport and I-30, as well as Downtown activities and entertainment. Just across the street from Heifer’s complex sits a warehouse at the corner of Shall Street and World Avenue that will eventually be replaced with the new headquarters of CareLink, an Arkansas agency providing a host of services for senior citizens. CareLink bought the property in 2004 for $2 million, and details are still developing, but the new building will probably be about 55,000 square feet, said Jeanie Frauenthal, CareLink’s communications officer. It will consolidate the nonprofit’s operations from its current headquarters on Riverfront Drive in North Little Rock and 10 other spaces. Relocating to a larger, centralized space will allow CareLink to expand both the size and scope of its services, including its daycare for the elderly, caregiver support and meals-onwheels programs. Agency officials hope to be able to serve an additional 10,000 people once the new building is complete and plan to add another 100 employees to the 650 it already has. It plans to update its daycare program, add a fitness center and meeting space in the new headquarters. Formed in 1979, CareLink’s mission“is to help people over 50 stay active and independent,” Frauenthal said. With all the nonprofit activity, Downtown Little Rock is making a name for itself as a center for global nonprofit organizations. “We think of nonprofits as not making money, but nonprofits make money,” said Sharon Priest, executive director of the Downtown Little Rock Partnership. “They need lawyers and many other services.” Not many Downtowns can claim to be home to the softer side of the corporate world, but, Priest said, it’s ideal for Little Rock. “It’s a good fit here,” she said. “People in Arkansas, in Little Rock, are very giving.” w w w . d o w n t o w n l r. c o m

Greening Our Downtown “The most responsible way to buy clothes is to shop at Goodwill. And the most responsible way to build is to recycle an old building.” Yvon Chouinard, founder of outdoor clothing manufacturer Patagonia

“The greenest building is the one already built.” Carl Elefante, architect

Much has been written about green buildings. In fact, Downtown Little Rock has two platinum rated LEEDS certified buildings. The challenge now is to re-use the existing vacant buildings in an environmentally responsible way. Follows are some statistics that appeared in an article in Preservation magazine*, the magazine of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Buildings constructed annually Buildings demolished annually Waste generated annually from construction & demolition Portion of construction waste recycled or reused Percentage of landfill waste resulting from construction and demolition

1,770,000 290,000 136 million tons 20-30% 10-30%

If we were to adapt an historic building for use, we would save dollars and extend the life of our landfills. We would save dollars and the cost of fuel used to demolish buildings, as well as the additional cost of energy used to manufacture brick, sheet metal and other materials needed to replace the demolished buildings. The property values of these formerly vacant buildings would increase as would the property taxes that fund roads, schools, hospitals, libraries, police and firefighters’ pension funds. The property owners would earn more money and pay higher taxes. The support services for the people employed in these buildings would result in more employment and entrepreneurial opportunities. The old Gazette Building at Louisiana and Third has been readapted for use as a school. The employment multiplier for this building with an estimated 60 jobs is 1.29. This would be the equivalent to a small business. All these things together are a piece of the puzzle that will not solve the problems of irreplaceable energy and resources but can certainly be a part of the solution. *Preservation, “The Green Issue” January/February 2008

Green Downtown Office Markets: A Future Reality Summer 2007

Green Downtown Office Markets: A Future Reality

Green Building Reality: Industry Perception vs. Acceptance

The need for environmental change in U.S. production practices is no longer disputable. From automobiles to commercial construction, it has become clear that environmentally friendly—or green—design, materials and production methods are here to stay. It has become a prevalent issue in many businesses, yet the commercial real estate industry has been slow to accept and adopt green construction practices. One of the leading hurdles is the unfamiliar: definable short-term office construction costs compared to long-term benefits and advantages. Research on green building presently constitutes an estimated 0.2% of all federally funded research, an average of $193 million per year. This is roughly equivalent to only 0.02% of the estimated $1 trillion value of annual U.S. building construction, despite the fact that the building construction industry represents 9% of the U.S. GDP. At the same time, the construction industry reinvests only 0.6% of sales back into research—significantly less than the average for other U.S. industries and private sector construction research investments in other countries.1 The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) suggests that without significant increases and improvements in green building practices, the negative impact of the built environment on human and environmental health is likely to increase dramatically in future decades. Building operation accounts for 38% of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions, 71% of electricity use and 40% of total energy use.1 This number increases to an estimated 48% when the energy required to make building materials and construct buildings is included.2 Buildings consume 12% of the country’s water3 and rapidly increasing quantities of land.4 Waste from demolition, construction and remodeling amounts to 136 million tons of landfill additions annually, making up more than 35% of all non-industrial waste (1996).5 Construction and remodeling of buildings account for 3 billion tons, or 40%, of raw material use globally each year.6 They also cause negative impacts on human health; up to 30% of new and remodeled buildings may experience acute indoor air quality problems.7

Summer 2007 Title: Subtitle

Despite these realities, the U.S. commercial real estate industry has witnessed only a small amount of completed green office construction, primarily in institutional and corporate headquarters buildings. As of 2007, there are more than 6,000 LEED registered or certified buildings throughout the country. Currently, there are three LEED-certified towers in Manhattan: 7 World Trade Center, One Bryant Park and Eleven Times Square. As of July 2007, the USGBC had over 896 million square feet of new commercial construction registered with its LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™. Although this represents a small percentage of the overall U.S. building stock, it is a massive increase from just three years ago.

A lack of clear data on development, construction costs and the time needed to recoup costs are the most obvious obstacles in the industry’s slow acceptance of green construction, making education the most important tool in promoting the green construction initiative. Understanding the LEED rating system used to evaluate a green building is critical to increasing acceptance for the implementation of green construction. With office developers like Hines and Silverstein currently constructing and leasing LEED-rated towers, a greater industry awareness of the overall cost and benefits is expected to increase.

The LEED Rating System

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings. LEED promotes a wholebuilding approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. The LEED Rating System provides the building industry with consistent and credible benchmarking on what constitutes a green building. The rating system is developed and continuously refined via an open, member consensus-based process that has made LEED the green building standard-of-choice for federal agencies and state and local governments nationwide. LEED rating systems are available for all building types including new construction, core and shell development, existing building operation and maintenance, commercial interiors, homes and even residential development. The LEED for commercial interiors rating system is designed to guide and distinguish high-performance interiors for commercial and institutional projects. LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building project meets the highest performance standards. LEED-certified buildings have lower operating costs and may qualify for tax rebates, zoning allowances and other incentives. If a LEED-certified building costs less to operate and thus has increased longterm value, why aren’t all new buildings constructed under LEED guidelines? The answer may lie in perceived additional building costs. Source: U.S. Green Building Council

Green Benefits vs. Costs: Marble Floors or Air Quality?

The benefits of developing and owning a green building are undeniable. Currently, more than 65 local governments have made a commitment to LEED standards in building construction, with some reducing the entitlement process by as much as one year and offering advantageous tax credits. Annual energy costs—a major office building expense—are reduced by as much as 30%, perhaps more with forthcoming technology. Green building tenant attraction and retention continues to grow stronger, as major tenants increasingly favor healthier air quality over luxury amenities in premium properties, making a green building a better long-term value than an “SUV property.”

“Tenants are no longer looking at base-line rental costs. Instead, they are considering how their real estate impacts their business. Tenants will pay higher rents if the building’s performance reduces absenteeism and turnover, and increases productivity, as these benefits are far greater to a business than lowerpriced rents. Committing to occupy a green building is a smart business decision,” said Sally Wilson, CB Richard Ellis’ Global Director of Environmental Strategy. Given these tenant advantages, all developers should consider developing green office buildings. Why is there a delay in accepting a better performing, more efficient product?

Many developers build to sell, meaning they construct or revamp an office building, lease space to tenants, and anticipate selling the asset within a three- to five-year time frame to repay their debt and secure a profit. The cost to achieve that goal directly relates to time. How quickly the process is completed often affects the profit generated upon sale of the building. The perceived increased cost of green construction spurs fears for developers who are already concerned about the cost of short-term debt and conventional building materials. However, studies have shown that LEED-certified buildings constructed at the Certified or Silver level have been built without an increase in preliminary costs. Gold-and Platinum-level projects are seeing an increase of 1-5%. Two percent is the average increased additional first cost. But, during the life cycle of the building, the costs are typically offset within one to two years by operational savings resulting from decreased energy and water use. A 2003 report completed for the California Sustainable Building Task Force surveyed 33 LEED buildings and concluded that eight Certified buildings had an average cost premium of

less than 1%. Eighteen Silver-level buildings averaged a 2.1% cost premium. The six Gold-level buildings had an average premium of 1.8%, and the one Platinum-level building recorded 6.5%. The average reported cost premium for all 33 buildings was less than 2%. While the size of the data is fairly small, analysis provides meaningful insight into the cost premium for green buildings.8 Peter Morris, a principal with Davis Langdon, an international construction cost analysis firm, says the team approach is critical for green development. “All parties have to be involved in the process—from the financing, to the architect and contractor—for a green building to perform from inception to a fully operating building. When that happens and success is realized, green office buildings will become commonplace.” 8

Government Legislation: Green Building Codes and Incentives

Greg Kats, The Cost and Financial Benefits of Green Buildings

Perhaps a harbinger for the future is a change in both the state and local governments’ approach to newly constructed buildings. On the federal level, effective legislation has been slow to address the green building issue. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 provides an Energy Efficient Commercial Building Tax Deduction, which serves as an important incentive for commercial developers to construct energy-efficient buildings. Recently, Congress has been considering a possible increase of this deduction, as well as an important extension. While the federal government is encouraging the private sector to follow its lead, and further legislative proposals are forthcoming, perhaps the most significant movement has been the creation of new building codes and incentives on the state and local levels. Code changes and building standards are nothing new for the commercial real estate industry. Indeed, in the early 1990s, the Americans with Disabilities Act passed into law and owners were forced to adhere to new building codes in every newly constructed building. Existing buildings had to be retrofitted for improved access, as new buildings codes were strictly enforced. California and New York building codes are among the national leaders in sustainable development. Governor Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order #S20-04 on December 14, 2004, requiring the design, construction and operation of all new and renovated state-owned facilities to be LEED Silver-certified. The state is pursuing LEED Silver-certification for new construction projects, and LEED certification for existing buildings and facilities. Governor Pataki issued Executive Order #111 in June 2001, encouraging but not requiring state projects to incorporate LEED criteria and seek LEED

Summer 2007 Title: Subtitle

certification where possible. New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offers incentives and technical assistance to help state agencies achieve the Executive Order objective. NYSERDA also offers incentives to owners and design teams of privately owned and operated buildings in the state. They are awarded incentives for energy efficiency measures and buildings that achieve a LEED rating with at least two points in Energy and Atmosphere Credit 1, Optimizing Energy Performance. The NYSERDA program funds up to $800,000 per building in Upstate New York and up to $1.5 million per project in New York City. NYSERDA will also buy down the interest rate on loans (4% below market rate) for energy efficiency measures and measures that assist in attaining a LEED credit. A low-interest loan may cover up to $1.5 million in energy and green measures. With the state governments of major U.S. population centers leading the way on green building codes, other first- and second-tier cities are following suit. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Washington and Oregon have the most extensive, documented experience with green building and LEED certification per capita than other states. Therefore, despite the general deficiency of published data on the cost of green office construction, there is substantial recent evidence from these and other entities to indicate that building green is less expensive than perceived by the commercial real estate industry.

Summary

Despite an overall hesitance to readily adopt green building practices by the commercial real estate industry, it is clear that change is not only needed but may soon be mandatory. According to a Brookings Institute study, by 2030, 50% of U.S. building stock will have been built after the year 2000. New building stock will represent 127 billion additional square feet, with the majority of growth in the West and South. While the financial aspects of green development will undoubtedly remain a debatable concern in the short term, it is indisputable that the methods we use to construct our future facilities will be critical to the sustainability and long-term endurance of our resources.
