We are planning on pursuing ND certification of a large site which is has multiple owners (single purpose vehicles all under common control.) The client's is pursuing certification to qualify for tax incentives. Is it possible to set up the project owner to consist of multiple legal entities in ND? I'm really looking for the way to demonstrate the link between the certified project and the actual owners of the properties within the project.

Michael, LEED-ND is very flexible about groups of owners and developers working together on a project, as long as the group collectively has control of over half of the property inside the project boundary. You'll find more info in the Project Team section of the 2009 Reference Guide, and the terms "applicant" and "developer" are in the rating system definitions. Eliot
