Affordable LEED Platinum

As sad as it may be to see the first home I ever built be sold...I've decided that 3140 Pennsylvania's days as a display home of affordable green home building are winding down. So, for all you green building lovers and those willing to subject yourself to lower utility bills and ultra-healthy indoor air quality then for the BARGAIN price of $205,000 I will hand over the keys to the 10th LEED for Homes Platinum certified residence in the United States - right here in St. Louis!

Greenbuild 2007 -- An Aside

Hey all:

We were fortunate enough to attend Greenbuild 2007, the world's largest green building convention. After making the trip up to Chicago, we quickly made friends with some like-minded green folks and were treated to some excellent hospitality, Portland style, at the PDX Lounge.

The exhibit hall was quite a scene and we learned a lot while making great connections. The glut of new green technology was nothing short of amazing, and it was wild to see over 20,000 strong supporting the cause at the McCormick Center.

We received a lot of positive feedback for getting the first LEED Platinum home in the Midwest, and really enjoyed talking to people from around the world who are bringing green building to the forefront.

Standing in the middle of that ocean of people, one could really get the sense that the "green revolution" was reaching the mainstream. Got to keep spreading the word...

The Latest

News of the Platinum Certification has really helped us get the word out there, and we have been receiving a lot of interest lately - especially from other developers and investors interested in single and mulit-family green rental units.

We're currently looking into some interesting projects -- as there has been a lot going on in the green community both in STL and beyond.

Thanks also to all of you out there who have been talking us up.

I wanted to give a shout out to one of the best modern/green sites out there: Jetson Green
You have to check out this resource if you are at all interested in the modern/green movement.

Also, check out our friends over at Low Impact Living. They are doing great work and are invaluable to websurfers seeking to "go green" in their daily lives.

Last but not least, I took this as a very good harbinger: Buffet bets on prefab homes.

Platinum, Baby!

More big news, folks.

Just heard from the USGBC: 3140 Pennsylvania is LEED for Homes Certified Platinum! Just the 10th Platinum residence in the country, and the FIRST home of any level in Missurah.

Man I wish I had time to celebrate...
