Physicians Realty Trust Earns Eight IREM® CSP Designations
February 27, 2020
Physicians Realty Trust (NYSE: DOC) is proud to announce that we have earned eight new IREM® Certified Sustainable Property (CSP) designations at our properties, reinforcing the Company’s ongoing commitment to expanding its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.
“Our organizational commitment to ESG principles has proven to be a healthy investment decision and a critical component of our portfolio,” said John Thomas, President & Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud to earn these IREM®CSP certifications, assets recognized for their sustainability elements. These awards showcase our Invest in Better philosophy for our shareholders, our tenants, and ultimately the communities our properties call home.”
The IREM® CSP is a sustainability certification program that focuses on the role of exceptional real estate management through green building performance. IREM’s sustainability certification provides properties with recognition for resource efficiency and environmental initiatives. To earn certification, each property must meet baseline requirements and then earn necessary points across energy, water, health, recycling, and purchasing categories. Tenants and residents increasingly associate environmental performance with quality, so the certification presents a prime opportunity to recognize excellence in responsible real estate management.
The eight DOC properties that have earned IREM® CSP status are:
- North Mountain MOB | Phoenix, AZ
- Crystal MOB | Crystal, MN
- HealthEast Clinic and Specialty Center | Maplewood, MN
- St. Alexius – Rehab Center | Bismarck, ND
- St. Alexius – Mandan Clinic | Mandan, ND
- Calkins 125 | Rochester, NY
- Strictly Pediatrics Specialty Center | Austin, TX
- Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center | Dallas, TX
DOC would like to thank Ryan Yetzer, Capital Projects Manager, for his leadership in spearheading the IREM® certification efforts. We would also like to recognize all of the property-level efforts of our management partners across the country as we collected information for these submissions.
