Takeaways

Active travel facilities in buildings can have a significant impact on leasing velocity and tenant satisfaction. Designing best-in-class active travel facilities requires expertise and consideration of various amenities and services. Mode Score certification expands on Active Score by including all modes of transportation and promoting sustainability. Early adopters of Mode Score certification have seen positive results and increased value in their buildings.
