Construction News Image
Dublin's Miesian Plaza has become the first development in Ireland to be awarded the LEED Platinum v4 Certification.

The mixed-use space was recognised with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) accreditation, the highest rating awarded by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). It is the most widely-used green building rating system in the world.

Miesian Plaza is the 179th Building to be confirmed as a LEED v4 Platinum Building.

The development was assessed for Integrative process; Location and transport; Sustainable sites; Water efficiency; Energy and atmosphere; Materials and resources; Indoor environmental quality; Innovation; and Regional priority credits.

David Torpey, Development Director at Remley Developments Limited, which delivered the project, said: "We made a conscious decision when we acquired the property to ensure the three office buildings included in the development would secure the highest possible environmental and sustainability accreditation. Particular attention was also paid to ensure that high quality facilities and amenities for staff were put in place."

Located in Baggot Street, Dublin 2, Miesian Plaza includes three office buildings of approximately 240,000ft2 of Grade A office accommodation, constructed between 2014 and 2017, including tenant fit-out, all finished to an exceptionally high standard. Block 1 is occupied by The Department of Health, The Department of Children and Youth Affairs and The Department of Finance; and Blocks 2 & 3 are occupied by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited.
