MINNEAPOLIS – Nov. 4, 2019 – Minneapolis ranks among the greenest cities in the country according to the annual Office Green Building Adoption Index, ranking fourth respectively.

Minneapolis’ office space became greener over the past year, with 57.1 percent of its space now green certified, up from 55 percent the previous year and enough to move it up one spot to fourth overall.

“We continue to see Minneapolis rise each year in the office rankings as Minneapolis has emerged as not only as a green market in recent years, but as a model for green trends that much of the country continues to follow,” said CBRE’s Brent Karkula, senior vice president in Minneapolis.

The 2019 Green Building Adoption Index found green certified office space across America’s 30 largest office markets has reached 42.2%, up from 41.9% last year, marking a new high.

Chicago took the top spot in the Green Building Adoption Index for the third straight year, with 71 percent of its space green certified.
