Environment

Thinking globally is what multi-family, infill development is all about. The global impact of concentrating growth in areas with an existing infrastructure of utilities, transit, recreation, and retail is making a tremendous impact world-wide. According to the Northeast-Midwest Institute, a person who purchases a multi-family home close to mass transit, retail, and parks, as opposed to purchasing a home in the suburbs, saves as much as 15 TONS of carbon emissions each year. Additionally, this type of residence and proximity can reduce your annual water consumption by as much as 8000 gallons. Even more, the initial environmental cost of new development in a suburban location is as much as 10 times that of a comparable, infill development. Channeling growth in responsible areas will also preserve our precious open green spaces that are so vital to the conversion of carbon emissions into oxygen.
