SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Sustainability at Catellus
At Catellus, sustainability means creating communities that are environmentally sound and that also have the potential to spur economic growth and build strong social networks to provide a strong sense of place for residents and the public.
As a ProLogis company, Catellus is a national leader in redeveloping properties into well-designed, sustainable communities. Catellus has the resources and expertise to develop pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use communities that stimulate economic growth, and create healthy environments for people to live and work within. ProLogis is proud to be a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, which sets standards for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) building practices and certification. Green building, community engagement and financial stability are three guiding principles Catellus embraces for each project it undertakes.
Sustainable Development at Alameda Landing
With a commitment to help reduce its carbon footprint, Catellus will design Alameda Landing to include a number of LEED-certified buildings. The project will include the rehabilitation and reuse of some of the former naval warehouses.
Alameda Landing will be transformed into a sustainable community with plentiful green space, energy-efficient buildings and pedestrian-oriented retail. By utilizing mixed-use building practices, Alameda Landing will allow residents, the public and workers to live within walking distance to their offices and favorite restaurants. It will also provide easy access to green space, waterfront recreational activities, entertainment and shopping. One of the project's key goals is to minimize automobile use and energy consumption wherever possible.
Helpful Definitions
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED): LEED standards are set by the U.S. Green Building Council, a national non-profit group that promotes standards for environmental building, and gives developers and building owners a set of credentials they must meet to receive LEED certification. Standards are based on: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, indoor environmental quality and other factors.
U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC): A non-profit organization comprising more than 11,000 members from every sector of the building industry. USGBC sets LEED standards and is committed to helping builders create healthy and environmentally sound buildings and communities.
Mixed-Use: A development plan that includes a combination of different types of uses within the same project, especially housing, retail stores and offices. Mixed-use helps foster communities that allow people to conduct all of their business within a close proximity, which helps reduce car dependency and creates more socially and environmentally sound communities.
Off-the-Grid Power: "Off-the-grid" refers to power drawn from renewable energy sources like wind turbines and solar panels, rather than from public utilities.
