SUSTAINABILITY'S BACK; THE DEAL SHEET

At times, it seemed LEED talk had reached ubiquity, but the recession curbed many large capital projects, and sustainability fell to the wayside. However, there's a renewed interest in such upgrades, as owners want to competitively set themselves apart, says CodeGreen Solutions managing director Christopher Cayten, who will be speaking at Bisnow's first annual Sustainability Summit on Aug. 12.
