We have a Project in an existing artificial/man-made island with a fully developed infrastructure. Please further confirm if this type of project is eligible for LEED NC 2009 certification or any other LEED Certification.

Joshua, Check out the MPR Supplemental Guidance page 18 where it explains how projects on a previously developed support structures and artificial land mass are OK for certification. For example, I'm certifying a renovation to an old boat house that sits on an existing pier and we are approved for all of the MPRs based on this exemption (the support structure was already existing). Good luck!
