MIAMI — Miami-based Rilea Group’s 1450 Brickell, a 586,000-square-foot office tower in downtown Miami, has achieved LEED Gold pre-certification. When completed in January 2010, the property will feature a slew of environmentally friendly features, including high impact-resistant glass and special parking for fuel-efficient cars. The office project’s electricity will come from renewable energy sources and 75 percent of the construction waste will be recycled. The Weston, Fla.-based Spinnaker Group provided environmental consulting services for 1450 Brickell, and NBWW & Associates of Coral Gables, Fla., designed the building.
