"We think about sustainability holistically and this project incorporates sustainable elements on multiple levels," Miguel says. "Most explicitly, the project is rated Silver by the National Green Building Standard (NGBS), incorporating specs such as energy star-rated appliances, water-sense plumbing fixtures, and low-e glass, which reduces cooling requirements and energy consumption."

Miguel says the project also achieves 'green' objectives in other ways by maintaining open green space with a private 1-acre park for residents, and by reducing the need for automotive transportation. The project is positioned to cater to the tens of thousands of workers in the nearby Health District, which is highly accessible without a car, whether by walking, public trolley, or partaking in the new scooter rental phenomenon that's quickly taking over Miami. Easy access to public transit will be complemented by our free water shuttle service that will operate at certain times for residents to access nearby attractions on the river.

The site, located about one and a half miles from Downtown, two miles from Brickell and a half mile from the Miami Health District, will provide accessible housing options to the workforce of over 200,000 people in Miami's two largest employment centers. Positioned in an urban transit zone, tenants and visitors will also be close to several public transportation systems.
