Our project is located into a LEED Neighborhood Development which obtained Stage 1 certification. The Neighborhood Project is going to be developed in phases and this building is the first of 26 buildings to be built.

There have been done earth removal works in the whole neighborhood and there is underground infastructure for water and electricity supply.

Question 1: Despite the fact that in the building site there has never been a building before, can it be claimed as a previously developed site?

Question 2: Since the NC is going to be located into a LEED ND (Stage 1 Certified), the whole Certification process is the same that would be held if the project was located somewhere else? Does it exist a simplification or a credit heritage for those credits which have been involved in the ND Certification (for example SSc4)?

Thanks in advance for the assistance!
