The Seasons of Cherry Creek Expansion to be "Built Green"

RedPeak Properties' newest development, the 148-unit expansion of The Seasons of Cherry Creek, will be the first for-rent multifamily community part of Built Green Colorado's multifamily pilot program.

As part of the pilot, RedPeak will implement "green" standards designed to increase energy efficiency by 15% above code at this 148-unit luxury apartment development. These environmentally tactics will include:

• The reuse or recycling of construction debirs and finished materials to avoid using landfills
   
• The use of locally manufactured and recycled sustainable materials to minimize the impact caused by shipping and reduce the strain on natural resources
   
• Building design that maximized natural light and views
   
• Daylight dimming systems to control artificial lighting according to the natural daylight levels to conserve energy
   
• The use of Energy Star appliances, programmable thermostats and low-flow fixtures in the apartments
   
• Upgraded energy-effiicient exterior windows and doors
   
• The use of buiding materials, including paint and carpet, that have little or not volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to enhance indoor air quality
   
• The use of recycled finish materials where possible

“Sustainability is a key goal of RedPeak Properties and we are excited to be part of Built Green Colorado’s multifamily pilot program with our first ground-up development,” said RedPeak President & CEO Mike Zoellner. “We acquired The Seasons of Cherry Creek in 2005 for its redevelopment opportunities and its excellent location two blocks from the famed Cherry Creek Mall, which provides easy access to abundant entertainment, employment and transportation opportunities, and we are extremely pleased to expand our presence in this important submarket. When combined with the opportunity to develop a green project that will help to further the industry’s transformation to green building the impact of this project is even more significant.”

Introduced in 1995, Built Green Colorado is one of oldest and largest green home building programs in the nation.

“We are pleased to partner with RedPeak Properties on the expansion of The Seasons, which adds our first for-rent asset to our multifamily pilot program,” said Jennifer Olguin, Built Green Colorado’s staff lead on the multifamily program. “Built Green Colorado has a long track record of improving the housing marketplace through green building standards that encourage home builders to use technologies, products and practices that result in homes that are better built and better for the environment. Extending this to the multifamily industry is a natural next step for our organization.”
