The precertification of the Thames Street Wharf as a LEED Silver designated office building was made today by the United States Green Building Council. Thames Street Wharf is being developed by H&S Properties Development Corporation with development and property management services provided by Struever Bros. Eccles & Rouse.
According to Costar, this certification will make Thames Street Wharf one of only two Class-A office (non bio-tech) buildings in Downtown Baltimore that are LEED-certified.
"For companies with existing green initiatives, this makes Thames Street Wharf an obvious choice. Over time, LEED certified buildings provide reduced operating costs and healthier work environments for tenants," said Nicole Keelty, Vice President of Colliers Pinkard.
Construction on the 277,000-square-foot Thames Street Wharf Class-A office building began in January of 2008. Financial firm Morgan Stanley is the building’s first tenant in 139,000 square feet of space. Morgan Stanley will take occupancy of its new office space at Thames Street Wharf in the first quarter of 2010.
Real estate advisor Colliers Pinkard is leasing the Class-A property. There is currently 130,000 square feet of available space on the ground through third level.
“We are thrilled that Thames Street Wharf is underway and moving toward a 2010 completion,” said Bruce Matthai, Senior Vice President of Colliers Pinkard. “We believe this site to be one of the greatest mixed-use waterfront locations on the entire East Coast.”
