The Navy Yard in South Philadelphia, once bustling with naval shipbuilding, has transitioned into a center for diverse businesses and sustainable development. Over the past 25 years, the site has seen significant growth, now focusing on energy efficiency, storm-water management, and climate resilience. Under the development consortium of Ensemble Investments and Mosaic Development Partners, alongside the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corp., the Navy Yard recently achieved gold certification in LEED-ND. This distinction recognizes its efforts in sustainability, encompassing a vast area of 295 acres, making it not only the largest project of its type in the U.S. but also the first in Philadelphia.
"The transformation of the Navy Yard into a sustainable development hub is significant for Philadelphia, marking a shift from military dominance to innovative business growth and environmental responsibility."
"With LEED-ND certification, the Navy Yard project stands as a national leader in sustainability, setting a standard for future developments across the United States."
