IREM is proud to announce its latest certified sustainable property, Broadstone 
Little Italy, which is perched above San Diego Bay, and crafted in the spirit of
an Amalfi village but with an eye toward the future. A future that is possible thanks
to continued sustainability efforts of its management company, Alliance Residential
Company.

# What is an IREM® Certified Sustainable Property

The IREM® Certified Sustainable Property is the only sustainability certification
program. One that focuses on the role of exceptional real estate management in green
building performance. Available for office, multifamily, and retail properties. 
So the certification provides properties with recognition for resource efficiency.
That’s as well as environmental programs.

To earn the certification, a property must first meet key baseline requirements.
Moreover and then earn necessary points. That’s  across energy, water, health, recycling,
and purchasing categories. Tenants and residents increasingly associate environmental
performance with quality, so the IREM® Certified Sustainable Property certification
presents a prime opportunity to showcase quality, responsible real estate management.

## 󠀁[⌊Broadstone little italy⌉⌊Broadstone little italy⌉󠀁[⏎  Broadstone Little Italy is a perfect example of how Alliance has implemented sustainability into their corporate culture.

Alliance is committed to [sustainable business](https://greenlivingguy.com/2023/01/making-every-aspect-of-your-business-more-sustainable/)
practices and has developed the Focus Green program to help minimize the impact 
their properties have on the environment, provide healthy and efficient homes and
offices, control operating expenses, drive savings and promote environmental awareness
to stakeholders. They know that their focus on [conservation](https://greenlivingguy.com/2006/06/greenlands-ice-sheet-is-slip-sliding-away/)
and energy does more than just help the environment; it also helps their bottom 
line.
