Constructed in 2012 and located in the heart of Seattle, Washington, Stream Uptown is a 118-unit, LEED Gold Certified multifamily community. The property is owned by TIAA and managed by Greystar. In July 2014, after the property was acquired by TIAA, the property management team at Stream Uptown began monitoring the energy performance of the common areas in ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager®. With a strong commitment to sustainable design, and support from ownership, the team worked to ensure energy efficient operations throughout the common areas and resident units. This led to superior energy performance, and eventually to the property becoming one of the first multifamily properties to earn ENERGY STAR certification upon the release of the ENERGY STAR score for multifamily properties in September 2014.
Notable energy-efficient elements installed at the property
include efficient fluorescent lighting and occupancy sensor controls
throughout the property, ENERGY STAR Certified appliances in resident
units, and low-flow water fixtures that reduce hot water demand. In
2014, the property management team participated in Seattle City
Light’s Powerful Neighborhoods Program, which provided energy- and
water- efficient fixture upgrades to residents at no cost.
Additionally, the property’s rooftop solar panels reduce the overall
carbon footprint of the community.
TIAA is an eight-time ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year
award winner whose Global Real Estate Sustainability Initiative
(GRESI) reflects the firm’s strong commitment to sustainability and
energy efficiency. The GRESI is a portfolio-wide initiative that sets
goals for strategic energy management, emphasizes operational
excellence and continual improvement, and acts as an expanded
fiduciary framework to better serve the needs of clients, investors,
tenants, and communities. For more information on the TIAA GRESI,
