Coming Soon – luxury living, urban living, and sustainable living will come together at The Aura at Camelback.
 |
I’ve seen lots of residential “green living” options, but they’re generally on the small side, and usually outside of town. I’ve also seen several commercial projects using a sustainable approach (we’ve even written about some of them before), so I know it’s possible to do larger buildings. This is the first time I’ve seen larger homes with extra amenities.
The Aura at Camelback will feature 36 three or four-story townhouses, with floor plans ranging from 2,469 to 3,147 square feet. Each home will have a 2-car underground garage, a 400 sqft underground air-conditioned storage unit, and a 400 sqft roof-top garden. Homes will range from $900,000 to $1.3 million.
The project will be located in the Biltmore area, at 25th Street and Campbell (south of Camelback).
I expect this to be the first of many projects we’ll hear about over the next year or two. Solar energy is getting cheaper and more efficient; there are more options available; and there is a great public demand for sustainable living. (but that’s a topic for another post..)
Your looking forward to the future Realtor,
Chris Butterworth

Hmm… This looks more like fluff to me. After viewing the web site, they appear to offer minimal details on why they are “green”. In retail, greenwashing is pretty popular, and it looks like it’s becoming more popular in housing as well. A builder is sticking ‘energy star’ appliances in a building and calling it green. The true spirit of green is conservation: less energy and less waste. A pretty web site isn’t enough to make me believe this is more than a marketing scheme.
LEED is a pretty weak standard, and builders love it for that. If this development was really seeking to be ‘green’, they would have incorporated fewer wasteful design elements, such as rooms with two-story ceilings.
My 2 cents,
Chris
