“The development has ample greenspace and courtyards to combat the urban “heat island” effect, but that’s just the beginning. Local vegetation also covers the buildings themselves. These green walls and roofs help filter the air and cool both indoor and outdoor spaces.

And the thin profiles of the buildings maximize daylight within the units, reducing energy needs. All the parking for the development is underground.”
