Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg today joined WilmerHale co-managing partner William J. Perlstein and World Trade Center developer Larry A. Silverstein at the signing of WilmerHale’s 7 World Trade Center lease, which is the first to incorporate groundbreaking language crafted by industry leaders working with the Mayor’s Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability to promote enhanced energy efficiency and sustainability. Under traditional leases, building owners are responsible for the upfront cost of energy efficiency improvements. Tenants, however, are the immediate beneficiaries of those upgrades, in the form of reduced energy costs. Because owners do not share in the benefit, they have little incentive to invest in energy upgrades. Building on the insights developed by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) Green Lease Forum, the Mayor’s Office of Long-Term Planning Sustainability brought together a group of real estate and energy efficiency experts and lawyer Mark Rauch to develop new commercial lease language that allows tenants, such as WilmerHale, and owners, such as Silverstein Properties, to share the costs, as well as the benefits, of energy efficiency improvements.
