Waterfront Tower Leads the Green Revolution in Southwest DC

The developers of Waterfront Tower were dedicated to green principles in the re-design of the building. By providing innovative features and incorporating green materials, this special place will be a community architectural centerpiece well into the future.

Using sustainable building practices and green materials, Waterfront Tower now offers healthier living spaces for residents, has a smaller impact on the environment, and reduces operating costs while extending the life cycle of building equipment.

Here are just a few of the green features at Waterfront Tower:

• High-efficiency appliances in all units
• All common spaces use eco-friendly furnishings
• Low-VOC paints and floor finishes were used throughout the building
• High-efficiency HVAC, boilers, and lighting systems
• High-efficiency windows offer ample natural light but transfer little
  heat or cold
• All carpet in the building is made from recycled materials

Following the guidelines set forth in the EPA's Energy Star for Buildings and USGBC's LEED rating system, Waterfront Tower's "green renovation" was designed to create high-performance and a more sustainable building. The goal was to maximize energy efficiency, water conservation, building materials and provide homeowners a more healthy environment to live in.

Waterfront Tower reflects the spirit of 21^st century Washington, offering sustainable living, bright spaces, and world-class style in Southwest.
