Moreover, the design of the office maximizes natural light flow, creating an inviting atmosphere.

“This certification exemplifies our commitment to sustainable solutions that extend beyond our communities to our own workplaces,” said Kelly Dougherty, president of FirstService Energy.

CEO David Diestel marked this milestone during a special ceremony on November 21, stating, “Investing in New York City is crucial for our operations, facilitating connections among associates, clients, and the community. Our flagship office is a vital meeting point for collaboration.”
