— What Is a LEED-Certified Building? 

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and it has become the world's most popular green building rating system. Led by the non-profit U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the program rates a project's design and construction on how well it incorporates eco-friendly strategies, including using fewer resources, reducing negative impacts on the environment, decreasing lifecycle costs, and maximizing residents' health and well-being.

LEED uses a simple 110-point system based on factors like energy efficiency, water usage, indoor-outdoor air quality, choice of building materials, emissions, responsible land use, and/or access to public transportation systems. Based on the results, LEED certifications can be:

• Platinum: 80+ points 
• Gold: 60-79 points
• Silver: 50-59 points 
• Basic: 40-49 points

Famous LEED-certified buildings around the world include Willis Tower in Chicago, Taipei 101 in China, and the Empire State Building in New York. In Miami, the Perez Art Museum (PAMM), the Frost Science Museum, the Hard Rock Stadium, and the Miami Beach Convention Center are all LEED certified. 

Entire neighborhoods and cities can also be LEED-certified, as proven by our very own Design District, the City of Miami Beach, and the City of Miami receiving a Gold rating. Pledging to become a carbon-neutral city by 2050, Miami has been making strides, scoring 60 out of the possible 110 points to secure its Gold LEED-certification. Developers are stepping up, too, now that all new construction in Miami over 50,000 square feet must be LEED Silver certified. Miami Beach has a separate ordinance requiring new construction over 7,000 square feet to be LEED Gold certified.

With over 400 LEED-certified buildings in Miami and Miami Beach, we’ve curated the list for you to focus on luxury LEED-certified condo buildings so you can choose from the best of the best. 

— Best Gold LEED-Certified Condos in Miami

Reach Brickell City Centre

68 SE 6th Street, Brickell

LEED Score: 64

Miami's rental-friendly Reach Brickell City Center and its sister tower Rise (see below) are Miami's greenest condo buildings, both scoring 64 and earning a Gold certification. The design team at Arquitectonica went the extra mile to protect and restore the building's natural surroundings and also create beautiful, open green spaces. 

The project uses recycled content, regionally available materials, and certified wood only, and it also scores for water efficiency with a 40% reduction in usage and measures to preserve the purity of the natural water bed.

Rise Brickell City Centre

88 SW 7th Street, Brickell

LEED Score: 64

Twinning on the ratings achieved by its sister tower, Rise shares the same level of eco-friendliness as Reach, with Arquitectonica using the same guidelines to replicate the Gold certification on this 43-story luxury tower. 

Like in Reach, as a resident at Rise you can also breathe easy knowing the building has superior indoor air quality, ventilation systems, and the most emission-friendly construction products (paints, agrifiber products, etc.). The forward-thinking project is ozone-friendly, reducing its impact on climate change. 

In our books, both towers also score extra points because they're close to public transportation systems like Miami's Metromover and Metrobus, and have outstanding amenities.

57 Ocean

5775 Collins Avenue, Mid Miami Beach

LEED Score: 60

Located in the LEED-certified city of Miami Beach and built in 2021, 57 Ocean is one of the most luxurious and sustainable buildings in Miami, having achieved Gold status for green energy innovation and optimized energy efficiency and performance. And it sits right on the beach, allowing you to truly live in nature without compromising. 

The developers MultiPlan and Arquitectonica made water-sensitivity a key priority, implementing many measures to maximize water efficiency for the entire 18-story building. It’s also a highly sustainable site, scoring well in areas such as rainwater management, light pollution reduction, and heat island management. 

Grove at Grand Bay

2669 S. Bayshore Drive, Coconut Grove

LEED Score: 60

With a dream team behind it, Grove at Grand Bay aimed high and was the first LEED Gold certified building in Coconut Grove. Terra Group, in combination with international starchitect Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), Nichols Broch and Associates, and local landscape architect Raymond Jungles, restored and protected the building's lush natural environment and added extensive landscaping to create a park-like feel of greenery. The tower was built with recycled products and regionally available materials, along with resourcefully managing construction waste. 

On the energy front, 35% of the building’s power is met from renewable energy sources, and it is also designed to deliver at least 40% water savings. Inside, air quality is top-notch, since low-emitting paints, coats, and adhesives have been used throughout. 

Finally, its proximity to public transportation options and on-site bicycle storage facilities encourages residents to reduce their use of carbon-emitting cars.
