V20 Group Receives First LEED Certified Industrial Building in Stamford

We are proud to share that Building 1 at 421 West Avenue has officially received LEED certification, making it Stamford, Connecticut’s only LEED-certified industrial building. 

At V20 Group, sustainability is more than a trend — it’s a responsibility. That’s why we designed 421 West Avenue to set a new standard for environmentally conscious industrial development. 

From the architecture and site planning to the energy systems and landscape, every detail of this property was built with the future in mind.

Completed at the end of 2023, Building 1 is home to Anderson Windows and STM Fieldhouse. The space blends form and function, offering tenants an energy-efficient footprint in a modern, bright industrial environment.

What Makes 421 West Avenue LEED-Certified?

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the world’s most widely used green building rating system. Earning LEED certification is a rigorous process that evaluates buildings on their sustainability, energy efficiency, water usage, indoor environmental quality, and more. Here’s what sets 421 West Avenue apart:

  • Solar Power Efficiency: Our rooftop solar field boasts over 75% energy efficiency, significantly reducing the building’s reliance on nonrenewable energy.
  • Green Landscaping: The site includes ample native trees and is located adjacent to a conservation easement, which we intentionally left untouched to preserve local biodiversity.
  • Public EV Charging Stations: We’ve installed electric vehicle charging stations that are open to the public, encouraging clean transportation options.
  • Natural Light: Perimeter-spanning windows fill the building with natural daylight, reducing the need for artificial lighting and enhancing indoor comfort.
  • Stormwater Retention: Upgrades to the property’s drainage infrastructure include a significantly enhanced stormwater management system, helping protect local waterways.
  • Striking Architecture: Beautiful design meets functionality, reflecting V20’s belief that industrial buildings can and should inspire.

A Vision for Sustainable Industrial Development

The LEED certification at 421 West Avenue is not just an achievement — it’s a reflection of V20 Group’s broader commitment to sustainable, high-value real estate development. As we continue to revitalize and reposition properties across Stamford and beyond, we are constantly seeking ways to reduce environmental impact while delivering exceptional spaces for our tenants.

We’re honored to lead the way with Stamford’s first LEED-certified industrial facility, and we look forward to developing even more projects that raise the bar for industrial design and environmental responsibility.
