(NYSE: AMH), a leading large-scale integrated owner, operator, and
developer of single-family rental homes, today announced that its
corporate headquarters building in Las
Vegas has been awarded LEED® Gold certification.
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design),

most widely used green building rating system in the world.
Gold certification was awarded for the building's design,
construction, and use practices, which are measured across criteria
including water conservation, energy efficiency, waste and resource
management, and indoor environmental quality.
"As one of the country's leading homebuilders, we know firsthand
what it takes to create spaces that optimize health and well-being.
We've designed our headquarters with these same priorities," said
Bryan Smith, Chief Operating Officer
of AMH. "Through mindful building and operations practices, we
maintain a workplace that supports, inspires, and generates pride
in our world-class talent."
This certification represents a milestone in the company's
sustainability journey, affirming AMH's continued commitment to
responsible environmental practices.

of renewable energy in 2023.
