Summerlin Achieves LEED Precertification
LAS VEGAS — Howard Hughes Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HHH) announced that its award-winning community of Summerlin has achieved LEED precertification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), becoming Nevada’s first master planned community to achieve this distinction. Summerlin joins an elite global group recognized by USGBC for their dedication to making their communities healthy, resilient, inclusive, and sustainable. With this addition, Howard Hughes now boasts one of the largest LEED precertified or certified community portfolios in the U.S., covering more than 62,000 acres.
Commitment to Sustainable Development
“Our achievement of LEED precertification for Summerlin—a thriving community home to over 127,000 residents—demonstrates Howard Hughes' dedication to sustainable development,” said David O’Reilly, Chief Executive Officer of Howard Hughes. “Nationally recognized as a leader in water conservation, Summerlin has added over 7,300 new homes and 500,000 square feet of office space, yet water consumption has remained unchanged during this period.”
Innovative Environmental Strategies
Summerlin has a decades-long history of implementing environmental strategies that have resulted in its LEED recognition. The community voluntarily became the first in the Las Vegas Valley to implement strict Water Smart conservation guidelines, saving millions of gallons of water annually.
Impressive Carbon Footprint
The community boasts an impressive carbon footprint of only 3.3 metric tonnes per person per year, which is 78% less than the national average. One contributing factor is that the average work commute for Summerlin residents is less than 10 minutes. Summerlin residents also produced 62% less waste compared to the national average based on previous figures.
LEED Certification and Community Impact
“By achieving LEED for Communities precertification, Howard Hughes has laid the foundation for achieving its ambitious sustainability goals for Summerlin,” said Peter Templeton, CEO of USGBC. This achievement emphasizes the ongoing commitment to responsible development and the community's previous certifications of office and multifamily assets.
Expanding Community Amenities
Summerlin has dedicated thousands of acres to parks, trailways, and open spaces, offering more amenities than any other community in Nevada—making it the #1 best-selling community in the state. Upon full buildout, Summerlin will accommodate more than 200,000 people.
