 In April 2014, Royal Farms was awarded a position on the U.S. Green Building Council’s “Top 10” list for number of retail projects certified through the LEED standard. Lorax helped Royal Farms certify over 25 LEED Stores. |

 This project was not only Lorax’s first project, but the first LEED Gold building in the state of Maryland, and the first LEED Building in Harford County. |
 10 Schilling Road will serve as the new global headquarters for McCormick & Co. Over 900 employees will occupy the building, which is pursuing LEED Gold and will feature significant water and energy saving measures, electric vehicle charging, bike-friendly amenities, an expansive green roof and extensive green space on the site. |
 Clifton Mansion, originally built between 1790 and 1801 was later purchased by philanthropist Johns Hopkins to serve as his summer residence. The City of Baltimore later bought the property in 1895 from Johns Hopkins University and it has served many purposes since. During the project’s renovation and LEED certification, the project team utilized specialized restoration techniques to recover original finishes to expose the plethora of different uses over the years. |
 Knorr Brake Company is a manufacturer of Braking, Door, and HVAC systems for the Mass Transit Rail Industry and has incorporated an 865 kW photovoltaic solar array that covers over 90% of the roof into the design of the building. The array generates approximately 50% of the building’s annual energy. |
