PASADENA, CA—The historic Pasadena City Chamber of Commerce building has earned a LEED E-B Silver certification from the Green Building Council. Owned by a joint venture between Edgewood Realty Partners and CenterSquare Investment Management, the building was built in 1907 and designed by architects John Parkinson and Edwin Bergstrom. It is one of the oldest buildings in the Los Angeles area to earn the LEED certification.
Located in the Old Pasadena Historic district, the 85,000-square-foot, six-story building recently underwent a significant renovation, which transformed the property into a modern creative office space. “Earning LEED designation for this trophy historic landmark is a win for the project, our tenants, our dedicated team, and the community,” Pete Kutzer, managing director at Edgewood, tells GlobeSt.com. “People want to work in distinctive settings that are environmentally sensitive, and we are excited to continue this work at the Chamber Building and at our other projects throughout California.”
The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its tenant roster includes technology, architecture/engineering and professional services companies. The design proves that historic buildings can also achieve a high-level of sustainability, according to Kutzer.
Earlier this year, the historic PacMutual Building in Downtown Los Angeles achieved LEED-Platinum certification. Built in 1908, the property was the first historic building in the city and the oldest building to earn the sustainable stamp.
