This is a case study on the development of Uptown Monterrey, a LEED-certified shopping center located in Monterrey, Calif. Developed by Foothill Partners, this site includes tenant space for Trader Joe’s and many other retailers, along with parking.

Mr. Wiele outlines the LEED standards along with the specific 27 points selected for this project. Spreadsheets break down both the estimated and actual costs of meeting these LEED measures, and make note of the “no cost” LEED points. Contact info is provided for the various members of the design team.
