Good afternoon. Thank for the forum. I would like to know if four buildings being built on four individual parcels, seperated by public right of way and roads (the four corners of an intersection) can be certified as a Group Project under a single Master Site.
All parcels are owned and being developed by the same group and construction will be simultaneous.
I think that I would like to encumpass all for sites in the Master Site Boundary and certify the buildings as one group. Is this a reasonable approach? Also, would I be able to deduct out area(s), consistantly across credits, owned by the local jurisdiction?
Your input is much appreciated.

Jason- I have not encountered this situation personally on any LEED projects. But, according to MRP Supplemental Guidance Rev 2 pg 13 (Including non-contiguous parcels in the LEED project boundary), a Master Site boundary the encompasses the 4 parcels should be allowed. You might be able to exclude the public right-of-way areas the LEED boundary area.
However, if the roads are being constructed as the result of the project development, they may have to be included as part of the LEED project, because they directly support the function of the building(s).
