Atlanta’s Oakland Park Recycles Materials and Saves Energy
A collection of 65 LEED Silver condos in the heart of Atlanta offer the best in green design and sustainable living.
Atlanta’s Oakland Park is a community consisting of 65 boutique condos. According to building’s website, some features of the condos include a view of the Atlanta skyline, one- and two-bedroom floor plans (ranging from 688 square feet to 1,424 square feet) and a location in an easily accessible area of town. But, another incredibly important feature for those eco-minded consumers looking to purchase a new home is Oakland Park’s LEED Silver-certified construction.
LEED is a rating system oriented around design, construction and operation of buildings. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council in 1993, LEED’s construction standards help lessen the environmental footprint around the world, as well as create healthy, cost-effective and comfortable living environments.
Oakland Park serves to conserve energy and recycle materials through a number of features that satisfy LEED requirements.
