Sustainability
LEED Certification
The Park Santa Monica has set a target to achieve the highest LEED certification: Platinum. South- and West-facing apartments have movable screens that provide personalized control of shade and privacy and contribute to achieving LEED Platinum goals. Rooftop solar panels harness the sun’s energy to heat the outdoor pool and power the public space amenities. On a daily basis, apartment residents will interact with many of the building’s sustainable systems.
