Green Building Takes Root with our own Barbara Wingate

Barbara Wingate, CCIM, a RE/MAX Alliance Commercial Associate in our Evergreen office has been featured in Realtor Magazine's February issue regarding commercial real estate going green.

"Blend with the environment."

Barbara took a tour of the National Renewable Energy Lab in Golden, Colo., that opened her eyes to the importance of combating global climate change. Her passion for the environment made her the ideal leasing agent for a new sustainable office building developed by local entrepreneurs Albert and Judy Challenger. The 11,764-square-foot office building with underground parking combines sylvan views with sustainable materials and systems that preserve the site's natural beauty. To blend in with the community's historic downtown, the local wood building materials were blasted with dried corn to create a weathered look. Leasing began in May, and a law firm has moved in as the anchor tenant. Wingate will focus on promoting the building's environmental amenities and expects no resistance to a rental rate that's slightly higher than usual for the area.
