Best Spaces Certification™
Projects undergoing the Best Spaces Standard may pursue two certifications confirming that the priorities of communities and end-users were met during design and post-occupancy. Best Spaces Certifications communicate to industry leaders, state and local governments, potential building end-users, and other stakeholders that your project is positioned to have a positive social impact.
Create Value with Best Spaces
The Best Spaces Standard supports meaningful, equitable, and inclusive community-engaged design, helping businesses, organizations, and building owners to:
Enhance end-user satisfaction, improve project quality, and maximize property usage.
Increase property desirability, market rents, and resale values.
Create a stronger sense of community, boosting goodwill and public support for projects.
Demonstrate leadership in social responsibility — a growing requirement in ESG and GRESB reporting, as well as RFP procurements.
Registration and Certification Fees
There is a one-time registration fee for projects pursuing the Best Spaces Standard. During registration, projects are assigned a Best Spaces Verifier who will provide coaching and guidance during certification pursuits. Registration fees include a one-hour kick-off strategy meeting as well as up to four hours of additional, as-needed coaching.
