Three Office Towers at CityLine Achieve LEED Gold Certification

by Haisten Willis December 21, 2015

RICHARDSON, TEXAS — The first three office towers at KDC’s CityLine development have achieved LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). KDC is developing CityLine, a 186-acre mixed-use development in Richardson. State Farm is leasing 1.5 million square feet in buildings One, Two and Three CityLine. LEED is a green building certification program led by the USGBC that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. A third-party verification process is used to determine that a building has been designed and built using strategies aimed at improving overall performance. To receive LEED Gold certification, the three office towers were evaluated in six areas: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, indoor environmental quality, regional priority and innovation in design. Phase II of construction, which includes the fourth State Farm office tower at CityLine, began in July 2014, with completion slated for mid-2016. It consists of a 12-story office tower situated above a five-level parking structure with 30,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. The tower is located on the northeast corner of State Street and Plano Road, directly across Plano Road from the other three towers leased by State Farm.
