One hundred or so camera-toting residents, project managers, contractors, architects, Arlington County board, County staff, and Congressman Jim Moran arrived en masse to tour and celebrate a pioneering 15 story apartment complex that's saving money and helping the planet: the Parc Rosslyn.
This project is one of the first LEED certified affordable housing project in the Country. <LEED Certification is pending, but it's all but certain> The project saves water, energy, and is healthier for the occupants than a traditional building. The driving force behind this 238 apartment building located within walking distance of the Metro is the Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing. APAH is a private non-profit organization founded in 1989 whose goal is to provide safe and affordable housing opportunities to low and moderate income families and individuals in Arlington.
APAH has truly set a high bar with the 90+ affordable units in this project and the County is proud of their lead to create green affordable housing.
Here are a few pictures to take a peak inside; affordable housing never looked so good. Take note of the energy rating on the tankless hot water heater that is below the measurable energy guide range.
