KBS has completed the verification of more than 14 msf of Class A office space in its real estate portfolios, achieving the UL Verified Healthy Building Mark for Indoor Air.
For buildings to earn verification, each property must undergo a rigorous process through UL’s Verified Healthy Building Program consisting of desktop audits, on-site visits (including visual inspections and performance testing) and laboratory testing to evaluate the range of building space conditions. Upon becoming a verified UL Healthy Building, properties must adhere to additional monitoring twice a year to continuously confirm excellent indoor air quality performance in order to maintain the UL verification.
Within KBS’ extensive portfolio, 46 properties have earned a UL Verified Healthy Building verification. Some of the properties include:
• Main & Gervais, a 186.3k sf property in Columbia, SC
• The McEwen Building, a 175.3k sf, mixed-use asset in Franklin, TN
• 1000 Continental, a 205.4k sf property in King of Prussia, PA
• Dulles Station East I, a 186.9k sf, mixed-use asset in Herndon, VA
• Salt Lake Hardware Building, a 210.3k sf, Class A asset in Salt Lake City, UT
• 515 Congress Ave, a 263.1k sf, Class A office tower in Austin, TX
In addition to the Healthy Building verifications, KBS has implemented recent renovations at its properties to provide eco-friendly amenities for tenants, such as modernized HVAC systems and bipolar ionization that can sanitize indoor air more effectively, as well as building apps that activate touch-free entrances and elevators. Other unique amenities include beehive installations at seven KBS property including 3001/3003 Washington Blvd in Arlington, VA, 1000 Continental in Pennsylvania and most recently at its Carillon property in North Carolina, which helps the bee population repopulate, providing jars of local honey for tenants to enjoy.
