2300 Market has achieved LEED Platinum certification

We’re proud to share that 2300 Market has achieved LEED Platinum Certification—a milestone that reflects a shared commitment to responsible urban development alongside our client and developer, Breakthrough Properties.

A high-performance, mixed-use lab building, 2300 Market sets a new bar for what sustainable science space can look like:

Adaptive reuse of three previously developed lots, retaining existing envelope and structural elements to cut embodied carbon — further reduced through concrete with alternative cementitious materials.

143 kBtu/sf-yr EUI and 20%+ energy cost savings vs. ASHRAE 90.1-2010, powered by an enhanced envelope, high-efficiency mechanical plant with heat recovery, and a disciplined lab ventilation strategy.

A transit-rich, walkable, bike-friendly location that makes low-carbon commuting the easy choice.

High-efficiency fixtures and minimal drip irrigation that meaningfully reduce indoor and outdoor water use.

Healthy interiors by design — daylight-optimized vision glass, a high-reflectance roof to combat urban heat island, and low-VOC, recycled-content materials selected for occupant wellbeing.

Thank you to the entire project team for making 2300 Market a model for the future of urban adaptive reuse for labs and life sciences.
