ECO PHX | Phoenix, ArizonaHabitat Metro has always approached the real estate market differently…finding niches that have been overlooked or missed by traditional players. ECO PHX is being created to meet an under-served market of environmentally conscientious residents. ECO PHX is a purposefully sustainable, infill development of 70 apartment homes that demonstrates what is possible with today’s technology. To accomplish this objective, we approached the design process from the inside out, with sustainability components at the heart of the building’s design. The result is an economically feasible structure integrating sustainable building systems that create a distinctive residential community. |
