Published by Keith August 20th, 2007 in Eco Homes, Green Building, Green Real Estate, LEED-NC, Money, Real Estate, San Francisco and condos. 0 CommentsAs the condos continue to rise in mini Manhattan, otherwise known as South Beach in San Francisco, it continues to amaze and disgust us why developers and builders aren’t building LEED certified or the equivalent.

On 22nd and Valencia, the Lorax guys have quietly erected a darker green building. The carbon imprint of this mixed use project should be much lower than the highly marketed Arterra. Don’t […]

Apparently, the sales office has pre-sales reservations booked for Saturday, […]
