CS-v4 LTc6:Bicycle facilities

Can the Shower Rooms be included in the Tenant's Sale Lease Agreement?

Hello LEED community,

I'm seeking clarification regarding the Bicycle Facilities credit requirements in LEED v4 BD+C: Core & Shell, specifically regarding the inclusion of shower facilities and their potential placement in the Tenant's Sale Lease Agreement (TSLA).

In my project, we are considering pursuing the Bicycle Facilities credit, but we're uncertain about the feasibility of including shower facilities within the Core & Shell scope. Instead, we are exploring the option of addressing the shower facilities requirement in the TSLA, ensuring future compliance with LEED credit requirements if tenant improvements occur.

My question is:

Is it permissible to omit shower facilities in the Core & Shell phase while still pursuing the Bicycle Facilities credit, with the intention of stipulating the requirement in the TSLA for potential future tenant improvements?

Any insights or guidance on this approach would be greatly appreciated.

If there is a signed lease available with language obligating tenants to comply with the shower requirements, this can be used as supporting documentation for this credit. Otherwise, it may be acceptable to show sample lease language, as well as an signed owner's letter of commitment where the owner commits to implementing this language in leases with all future tenants.  Note that if the program includes builidng staff as regular occupants, they will also be required to have shower access in order to meet the intent of this credit.

At one of v3 projects some Shower Rooms (not 100 % of required amount) was included into TLA and future tenant was obliged to provide access to it. It worked.
