Our project is building adjacent to an existing building, and will connect to it via a pedestrian bridge. Between the two buildings are several existing, older trees that are required to remain.

Our 18 acre project site includes non-build-able waterfront with water detention.

It appears under LEEDv4.1 O+M, this credit was removed.

We have a site that is 19.1 acres, which equates to a cost of $332,798.40 at $0.40 / sf - a substantial cost for 1 point.
