\"Lobby\"<\/a>Mansell Overlook, the new location for Yardi<\/a>\u2019s Atlanta offices, received LEED Gold for Existing Buildings Operations and Maintenance. The Yardi teams have been in their new green home for two months now, adjusting to the office space, getting to know new coworkers, and generally letting the dust settle.<\/p>\n

Mansell Overlook was built in 1996, before the modern green movement really took off in the southeast\u2019s commercial sector. When owners considered a green renovation over a decade later, they faced challenges common to retrofits. With tireless dedication, the team exceeded expectations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe earned LEED Gold when others said we could only get Silver for that LEED budget and schedule,\u201d reports Amanda Madrid, LEED Green Associate and General Manager at Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc. In addition to the complex\u2019s Gold certification, the project team included programs for green landscaping, integrated pest management, green cleaning, green TI\u2019s and cooling tower chemical management. Miraculously, the project was completed under budget.<\/p>\n

Building 500, which holds Yardi\u2019s offices, received an 95\/100 Energy Star Score. The site saves 32 percent in water expenses thanks to high-efficiency restroom fixtures. The site also avoids the waste of products used within the office.\u00a0 65 percent of ongoing consumables (plastic, paper, glass, etc.) are diverted from landfills through the site\u2019s single-stream recycling. 100 percent of office waste, such as furniture and electronics, can also be diverted.<\/p>\n

Yardi employees reap the benefits of low mercury lighting and improved indoor air quality. Onsite walking trails and gardens provide a beautiful place to relax and unwind during breaks. After hours, Yardi staff can head down to the gym for an invigorating workout before heading home. “We really tried to make the workplace comfortable and enjoyable for our tenants,” says Madrid.<\/p>\n

\"Nature<\/a>The green features did not require Yardi to skimp on space. The additional square footage provides Yardi team members with \u201cbreakout rooms,\u201d small meeting areas that are great for impromptu meetings. For larger gatherings, team members drew upon local sports teams to identify their conference rooms. The Falcons, Braves, and Hawks all have designated conference rooms. The largest meetings are held in The Dome, the namesake of Atlanta’s professional football stadium.<\/p>\n

The new space will also accommodate our growing family. As Yardi\u2019s HOUSINGCafe product takes off, the new support staff will likely join their peers at Mansell Overlook.<\/p>\n

Employees may take advantage of access to public transit, which is a huge deal in Atlanta where the average commute exceeds an hour each day. Public transit shortens commute times, not to mention that the time could be spent reading, FaceTiming with friends, or anything other <\/i>than staring at the bumper in front of you. Those who opt to use personal vehicles can take advantage of the property\u2019s six electric vehicle charging stations.<\/p>\n

Mansell Overlook aims to improve the tenant experience for years to come. \u201cVendors and tenants participated in the initial certification,\u201d says Madrid. \u201cWe will continue to follow best green practices with education and support from property management as well as through tenant satisfaction surveys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Word on the Street<\/b><\/p>\n

Learn Yardi employees\u2019 favorite features of the new building:<\/p>\n

\u201cI like the people. It\u2019s a really good group. The security guard is always so friendly and helpful. The facility is beautiful and really well done. The grounds are rather park-like here. It\u2019s not just an office building that you pull up to. There is availability to do a lot of things, like the trails and our public spaces.\u201d —Atlanta Office<\/strong> Administrative Assistant <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI like the upgraded office space, the layout of the floor plan, and the combination of our two locations.\u201d– Chastity Cook, HR Generalist\/Operator Coordinator\"Large<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cYardi is a great place to work and this is a great environment. I\u2019ve done the walking trails a few times. I\u2019ve been to the fitness center but I haven\u2019t joined yet! Overall it\u2019s just a nice atmosphere.\u201d —Karen Francis, Utility Auditor<\/b><\/p>\n

My favorite features? Yardi uses about two floors of office space, arranged like stacked donuts. If you can\u2019t find what you\u2019re looking for, just keep walking and you\u2019ll run into it eventually. It\u2019s like I-285, with less traffic!<\/p>\n
