Socially responsible management

Cummings Properties has earned multiple Energy Star awards for its "green" office and laboratory buildings in Massachusetts. It also has a very strong history of recycling and preserving historic structures. The firm's 2 million square foot restoration of the former United Shoe Machinery Corporation headquarters in Beverly, MA is one of the world's largest industrial plant recycling projects. Its brand new TradeCenter 128 is a LEED precertified Gold Level building.

In terms of philanthropy, the firm's founder, William Cummings and his wife, Joyce, have recently been among the nation's largest charitable donors last year. Their gifts to Cummings Foundation now total more than $700 million.

Cummings Foundation, in turn, operates the not-for-profit New Horizons assisted living communities, and contributes to numerous causes. In Beverly, MA the foundation recently donated $1 million for the new Douglas Stephens Teen Center at the YMCA of the North Shore. Its largest financial commitment was $50 million to the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University.
