National Green Building Standards

Bolis Properties mission of Developing a Better Community™ starts with planning each development in coordination with the guidelines set by the National Green Building Standards and the LEED Neighborhood Development Rating System which integrates the principles of smart growth and green development. We strive to meet the accepted high levels of environmentally responsible, sustainable development standards for a LEED certified Neighborhood Development which is a collaboration among the USGBC, the Congress for New Urbanism and the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Examples of the green techniques that Bolis Properties applies to each community design begins with a “smart” location and includes:
• Community open space for active and passive recreation
• Walking and biking trails throughout the community
• Use of conservation easements
• Protection of environmentally sensitive wetlands
• Water body conservation
• Ecological community conservation
• Floodplain avoidance
• Access to public transportation
• Compact development
• Mixed use neighborhood development
