MIAMI—Miami Tower has always been multi-colored. Now, it's a lot greener. The iconic office skyscraper that lights up the Magic City's skyline is the newest LEED-certified building in the urban core.

Located at 100 Southeast 2nd Street, the 623,000-square-foot office tower earned LEED EB Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council under the Existing Buildings Operations and Maintenance standard. With this recognition, Miami Tower becomes the third class A office tower in the city's urban core to earn LEED EB certification.

“We continue to invest in projects that increase the building's sustainability, reduce energy and water use, as well as greenhouse emissions—all with the goal of contributing to a best-in-class environment and lower operating costs for our tenants,” says Ty Spearing, managing director at LaSalle Investment Management. LEED is certifying 1.5 million square feet of building space each day in 135 countries.

The Jones Lang LaSalle property management team in partnership with consultant Servidyne completed the certification process on behalf of building owner LaSalle Investment Management. The certification will translate into energy savings in the long term, reducing operating expenses for its tenants.

“We are lighting up the Miami skyline while reducing greenhouse gasses by installing an LED lighting system and pursuing other green initiatives for water reduction, cleaning and landscape practices,” says JLL's Tom Matese, general manager of Miami Tower. The office building is one of more than 53,000 projects are participating in LEED, spanning more than 10.1 billion square feet of construction space.
