Ascentris Receives WiredScore Certification Across 12 Properties; 120 North LaSalle Becomes First High-Rise in the U.S. to Achieve RESET Air Core & Shell Certification
Denver, CO (May 5, 2021) – Ascentris, a Denver-based real estate private equity firm, announced today the achievement of two cutting-edge building certifications across 12 properties in its portfolio. The certifications underscore the properties’ advanced digital and mechanical infrastructure as well as the health and wellbeing of the properties’ tenants and residents.
In April 2021, ten of Ascentris’ office properties, totaling 1.9M sf, and two of its multifamily properties, totaling 500 units, received WiredScore certifications. One of the multifamily properties, The Residences at Glenwood, located in Raleigh, NC, became just the third multifamily property in the United States to achieve WiredScore certification. WiredScore assesses and certifies digital connectivity and smart technology in commercial properties across the globe, scoring a property against four criteria (connectivity, infrastructure, readiness, and innovation). By achieving certification, each property has demonstrated that it possesses the business-critical connectivity features and capacity to satisfy the technological needs of its tenants and residents.

In March 2021, 120 N LaSalle achieved RESET Air certification; RESET Air is the world’s first sensor-based and performance-driven indoor air quality building standard and certification program. 120 N LaSalle’s certification consists of two components: Core & Shell certification for the base building mechanical systems and Commercial Interiors for the building’s interior office spaces. 120 N LaSalle is the first high-rise building in the United States to have achieved the RESET Core & Shell certification. By achieving the certifications, the property demonstrated that its HVAC systems performed at a high level, ensuring the quality of the air being provided to each tenant space and throughout the common areas of the building is maintained above a rigorous threshold for modern, high-performing buildings.
