Living in one of the 937 Condos in the Pearl District will enable you to help our planet and your finances. Completed in the fall of 2008, this 16-story building will use cutting- edge technologies in sustainable living providing loft owners with lower heating and water bills.
The 16-story building inhabits a half block site at Glisan Street between NW Ninth and NW 10th avenues. Two levels of parking spaces will lie underneath the structure while retail stores and restaurants occupy the ground floor; above will be 217 units of beautifully designed open-spaced lofts.
The second floor podium will contain 4,000 square foot living vegetated ecosystem and a 130 foot long storm water flow-thru planter that will purify the water running from the towers roof. Stormwater will reach the podium level flow-thru planter through downspout within the building.
The 937 Condos is vying for a Gold rating for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) from the U.S. Green Building Council for environmentally sustainable construction. Other green benefits provided are:
ï Architecture that maximizes sunlight
ï LEED Gold-rated appliances
ï High efficiency heating and cooling systems
ï LEED Gold compliant windows
ï Dual flush toilets
ï Externally-vented kitchens
ï In addition, 75 percent of the debris from the demolished building the 927 Condos replaced will be recycled into the new structure.
Inside each loft unit will boast twice the amount of glass as other Pearl District lofts; the windows will be eight feet high and two to ten feet wide. Oversized walk-in showers and deep soaking tubs will grace every master bath. Master bedrooms feature expansive windows, sizable closets and lighting, and are separated from the great room with oversized doors. Who said sustainability couldn’t be luxurious?
