Sustainable Development

The Management Team has found that newly built properties remain in demand with creditworthy tenants during most economic environments, allowing a building to provide consistent returns through all phases of the real estate cycle. Currently, MEPT has multiple "green" assets, and MEPT intends to achieve U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification or higher for development projects. The Fund's New Construction, Core & Shell, and EBO&M LEED-certified assets and assets seeking certification include 10.8 million square feet at completion and $2.3 billion in gross asset value at June 30, 2010.

MEPT's commitment to sustainable development has resulted in modern, energy efficient, and cost-efficient projects that not only contribute to portfolio performance, but also offer attractive features to prospective tenants. Further, the positive contribution these properties make to the environment from their reduced reliance on traditional energy sources and use of recycled materials is beneficial to MEPT's tenants and the local community.
