Sustainable Solutions at Hoskin Ryan

Hoskin•Ryan is dedicated to taking the LEED in identifying sustainable solutions for land development projects beginning at the community planning stage all the way through construction. Using the eco-minded building practices advanced by the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Green Building Rating System, we put our refurbished c.1957 Valley National Bank building to the test. We can proudly say that our central Phoenix office building meets 9 out of the 14 LEED sustainable site credits.

Hoskin•Ryan is an active member of Valley Forward Association, and this year we celebrate Paul Hoskin’s new election to the esteemed Board of Directors. Many members of the staff are dedicated volunteers on various Valley Forward committees including:
• Membership Committee

• The Annual Luncheon

• Hoskin•Ryan continues to build upon our database of strategic partner organizations that offer sustainable design solutions, including water harvesting, pervious surfaces and solar energy resources.
