Tower, Lerner team up with Beatles' former guru source: http://www.gazette.net/stories/062106/busimlo142134_31941.shtml
Gazette.Net - Maryland Community Newspapers Online Wednesday, June 21, 2006 E-Mail This Article | Print This Story The Tower Cos. and Lerner Enterprises, both of North Bethesda, plan to develop 2000 Tower Oaks Blvd. as the world's largest commercial property applying both "green building" standards and Vedic design principals advanced by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to promote worker productivity and health. The two developers, which plan to move their headquarters into the new Rockville building when it opens in 2008, said they are committed to reducing energy consumption by 41 percent and water consumption by 48 percent. The developers plan to power the building using only wind- generated electricity. The 200,000-square-foot project is designed in collaboration with Maharishi Global Construction of Fairfield, Iowa, which says on its Web site that it is dedicated to "using laws of nature that connect individual intelligence with cosmic intelligence." The developers said they would create workspace that enhances "productivity, creativity and success for tenants using defined architectural concepts of orientation, proportion and placement." "People intuitively know that buildings affect us deeply and the best buildings are those that make us feel good, and at their highest can elevate your success," said Jeffrey S. Abramson, a Tower partner. "That is what the Vedic approach brings to architecture." Copyright © 2006 The Gazette - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ------------------------ Yahoo!
