Team Application

Collaboration across industries is essential to creating better buildings and making green leases mainstream.

The Green Lease Leaders Team Transaction category recognizes individual transactions where landlords, tenants, brokers, asset managers, lawyers, or other parties come together to develop innovative leasing solutions that improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of buildings. The award will focus on specific transactions where both parties bring sustainability goals to the table.

  • Contact the Green Lease Leaders team to discuss your team transaction before applying

  • Executed leases and other documentation must meet at least two prerequisites and at least five credits from the minimum criteria of the Tenant and/or Landlord recognition criteria. For example, the lease may comply with one prerequisite from the Landlord criteria and one prerequisite from the Tenant criteria
  • Submissions will be the considered by the Green Lease Leaders recognition program on a case-by-case basis
