Paramount also achieved the ENERGY STAR Tenant Space Recognition at 1325 Avenue of the Americas and is committed to partner with its tenants to encourage the adoption of the ENERGY STAR Tenant Space program within their own offices in 2022.

“Prioritizing energy efficiency is fundamental to our business strategy and ensures we are upholding our responsibility to our stakeholders and communities,” said Wilbur Paes, Paramount’s Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. “We are extremely proud that our portfolio has been distinguished through ENERGY STAR in recognition of our market-leading operations and sustainability performance.”

“Properties that receive ENERGY STAR Certifications must meet superior energy performance standards set by the U.S. EPA” said Craig Haglund, EPA’s ENERGY STAR Program Manager for Commercial Real Estate and Multifamily. “Achieving certification throughout its portfolio demonstrates Paramount Group’s strong commitment to energy efficiency and will go a long way in its efforts to reduce its impact on the environment.”
