Blog reviews national trend towards green high-rises.
Inhabitat (10/23) reports on the "rise of the Green High-Rises" across the U.S. If you "look skyward in any major American city...you're likely to see a soaring new green high-rise. With scarce land in urban areas, the cost of housing skyrocketing, and increasing demand for better communities, high-density development is experiencing a renaissance in the U.S." And as "consumers look for long-term savings and seek to live in healthier environments, more big developers have grasped onto the fact that the green in the building can lead to green in the bank." The article profiles a number of new high-rise projects in urban areas nationwide, with photographs.
