Midtown Crossing is a model for the redevelopment of urban neighborhoods and has been chosen to participate in the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) pilot Neighborhood Development Certification program.

LEED for Neighborhood Development recognizes projects that protect and enhance the overall health, natural environment and quality of life in their communities. It includes best practices in smart location and transportation linkage; environmental preservation; compact, complete and connected neighborhoods; and high-performance, green construction and technology.

By participating in the Neighborhood Development Certification program, Midtown Crossing will be among the first developments in the nation to receive the LEED neighborhood certification. It is the only project in Nebraska or Iowa chosen for the LEED for Neighborhood Development pilot.
