Greenway Townhouses
The goal of Greenway Townhouses was to take a long-vacant, previously-developed property and provide multi-family housing in a sustainable, economical manner. Each of the eleven units has achieved LEED Gold status as well as an Earth Advantage Platinum rating.
Location — Eugene, OR
Year Completed — 2013
After our success with The Sage (LEED Platinum), we (Dan and Bill) wanted to create a multi-family housing option that utilized our site in the best manner and be a long-term investment since we were also going to remain the owners. We balanced environment, economy and equity in this project, creating housing that uses sustainable materials, maintains low maintenance and utility bills, and has affordable rents.
