The Reference Guide states that the final step to certification occurs when "certificates of occupancy for buildings...have been issued..." Does this mean that 100% of the buildings must be constructed before a LEED ND certification is awarded?

For a Stage 3 certification, all buildings must be completed. But you can get a Stage 2 pre-certification anytime after receiving 100% of entitlements and up to 75% constructed. And you can get Stage 1 (conditional approval) even before entitlements.

But you only get the plaque after Stage 3 -- so no plaque until everything is built. (Stage 2 is a certificate, while Stage 1 is a letter.)
