In 2024, The Bank of America Plaza at Las Olas City Centre (LOCC) achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental (LEED) Gold certification. The 97.6% leased office tower in downtown Fort Lauderdale is leased by Comreal and managed by Jones Lang LaSalle Americas.
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) awarded the 408, 444 square feet, 23- story office building a certification in the category of Existing Buildings Operations Management (EBOM) for meeting LEED standards for energy use, lighting, water and material use, and incorporating a variety of sustainable strategies. In addition to its many sustainable features, perhaps its most evident characteristic is the newly installed LED lighting system that illuminates the building from the ground up. The new LED lighting retrofit allows LOCC to function more efficiently while significantly reducing operational costs.
With the buildings lighting system, it allows custom light shows in support of holidays, charitable groups, and special events, further cementing the buildings prominence on the Fort Lauderdale skyline.
LOCC’s new sustainable design features and practices include:
