Nationwide Solar Strategy Drives Sustainability Program Forward

provides specialized products and services to the chemical, refining, oil and gas, pulp and paper, and power generation industries, among others. For Vice President Tim Walker, Barringer Foreman Tech Park was “the natural first choice for the expansion due to the company’s existing operations within the business community and its familiarity with and confidence in St. John Properties.”

St. John Properties has amplified its sustainability activities in 2024 by earning LEED certification for 27 buildings, advancing the roll-out of its solar strategy nationally, and installing the largest solar project in the company’s history at Aspen at Melford Town Center. Since initiating its LEED program in 2009, St. John Properties has developed more than 7.7 million square feet of LEED certified space across the country and is ranked within the top five developers of LEED certified buildings nationwide by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). As part of this program, the company is installing electric vehicle charging stations or underground conduits at all newly constructed flex and office buildings. This is in addition to upgrading the lighting to LED in all existing buildings and using building materials and asset management practices that conserve natural resources, save energy, and reduce operating costs. “Achieving LEED certification for flex/R&D buildings is atypical in the commercial real estate industry, but we have been compelled to be the market leader,” said Ryan Schwabenbauer St. John Properties’ Vice President, Sustainability. “It is particularly rewarding to receive input from clients relaying appreciation from their employees for spending their workday in a green building.”
