Ana, how many stories? How many units? Will the interiors be fit out, or is it a core and shell project?

16 units of 22 stories each. We don´t know if the interiors will be fit out, but we want to give the client the most appropriate rating system. Which would it be? New Construction or Core and shell?

Definitely LEED-NC unless the scope is really just the core and shell.

We are working in a residential project.
Entrance level is semi-buried due to site level. This level includes mail hall with elevator and stair, common areas like gym, spa and access to exterior pool. This level also includes parking areas and amenities.
There are three levels above this one than include 2 dwellings per level. Final level is linked to exterior private terraces than include pool, restroom and kitchen.
Can we consider this project as LEED-NC?.
Thanks in advantage

It sounds to me like LEED for Homes or LEED for Homes – Multifamily Midrise is the best fit here.There has been flexibility to do these projects under LEED-NC, particularly before the multifamily track existed. But now that it exists you might be better off using it.If you want to do NC I would double-check with GBCI before proceeding too far.
