This 9 unit townhome complex achieved City of Santa Cruz Green Building Award recognition.  This project went through planning and was completed before the Green program was established, yet received "recognition" as a green building.  Located on West Cliff Drive, the townhomes are within walking distance of the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, beach, restaurants, and entertainment.
The Townhomes are equipped with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2 car garages and up to 2,000 square feet of living area with exterior decks that provide beach and mountain views.  All homes have state-of-the-art energy saving amenities and passive solar design incorporated into every home.
