The engineers of Douglas Wood & Associates, Inc. understand and appreciate the goals of sustainable design and stand ready to assist our clients in achieving those goals.

At the present time, Douglas Wood & Associates, Inc. is proud to be participating in the design and construction of three projects which are planned for LEED certifications. The first is the fourteen-story 2020 Ponce office building now under construction in Coral Gables (Architect: Roux Architects). The second is Villa Matti, a six-story, low-cost residential project by the Miami Beach Community Development Corporation (Architect: Arthur Marcus).  The third project is the Belleview Biltmore Resort in Bellair (near Clearwater) (Architect: R.J. Heisenbottle Architects, P.A.).  This large project includes the restoration of the five-story, multi-winged, 380,000 square foot historic wood-framed hotel (on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s top priority list).  The project also includes the construction of significant new meeting facilities, spa, golf club, hotel rooms and parking, for a total floor area of nearly 900,000 square feet.
