Sustainibility

Green Roof

Check out Truist Place's green roof! Our green roof helps us reduce the local heat island effect, insulates the floor directly beneath it, and reduces stress on our stormwater systems during rain events due to infiltration.  Plus, it provides a nicer view than a regular roof.

 

Earth Day Celebrations

Each year Truist Place celebrates Earth Day by hosting a tenant event that helps increase awareness for environmental issues.  Learn more about the history of Earth Day here.

As a leader in sustainability in the commercial real estate industry, Parmenter Realty Partners constantly strives to optimize building performance across our portfolio. We operate buildings that provide healthy environments for our tenants and visitors while at the same time reducing the impact our buildings have on energy consumption, water use and waste generated, throughout our ownership and beyond.

Parmenter Realty Partners implements sustainable management policies, energy retrofits, and tenant engagement events; and empowers our engineers to operate high performance buildings.

We utilize EPA’s Energy Star Portfolio Manager to manage energy and water consumption at our buildings. We also participate in national building competitions designed to encourage energy reduction and certification programs to highlight our commitment to sustainability.

Bee Hives

Parmenter Realty Partners has partnered with Bee Downtown and we now have two bee hives located on our green roof. We have a permanent display in the Art Gallery which showcases a live feed of our hives, as well as, honeybee facts and information.

 

Truist Place was given the 2021 1st Place Blue Ribbon for the best tasting Richmond Honey!

Truist Place's bees produced 145 pounds of honey filling 1,140 jars. That's 7.9 million flight miles flown to create the honey! The average amount of honey produced per colony was an 80% higher yield per hive than the average VA locations!
