Orange Park Mall Recognized with Distinguished Designation as an Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) Certified Sustainable Property
ORANGE PARK, Fla., December 4, 2025 – Orange Park Mall, Clay County’s premier family-friendly shopping destination, owned by Second Horizon Capital, announces it has been recognized by the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) as a Certified Sustainable Property. This designation recognizes Orange Park Mall as a green building for exhibiting high standards and practices that support sustainability through management in green building performance. The certification is part of Orange Park Mall's broader effort to focus with intentionality on enhancing our center, elevating our operating performance, and serving as a vital community hub and local economic engine.
"Our focus on driving sustainability improvements is embedded into our operating philosophy," says Howard Levine, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Second Horizon Capital. "This certification is a significant milestone, reflecting new policies, practices, and enhancements our team has introduced at the center since our acquisition.”
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Certified Sustainable Property certification recognizes responsible real estate management, and how resource efficiency can improve net operating income (NOI). To receive a Certified Sustainable Property certification, a property must meet key specific initial requirements followed by a comprehensive evaluation of sustainable practices in energy, water, health, recycling, and purchasing. The IREM® CSP Certification showcases quality, responsible real estate management and recognition of resource efficiency and environmental sensitivity.
"It is an honor to achieve this certification for Orange Park Mall," says Randy Bowman, General Manager at Orange Park Mall. "This designation is a reflection of our ongoing work to enhance the center’s sustainability and elevate our operating standards of excellence."
“Embracing sustainability in real estate management is a smart business decision for a better future,” says Renee Savage, CPM®, CCIM and IREM past president. “In a rapidly changing world where sustainability is increasingly valued, IREM's CSP certification provides real estate professionals and their properties with a competitive edge. It demonstrates their commitment to sustainable practices, attracting environmentally conscious tenants, investors, and stakeholders.”
