Northland Residential Corporation LEEDs the Way in “Green” Construction

Builds First New LEED-Certified Model Homes and Sales Center in Massachusetts

Under our new initiative – “Built Better, Built Northland Residential Green” – we have received a first-in-the-region LEED certification for our model homes and sales center complex.

The prototypes represent the first new construction condominium development throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island to be certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. While LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) techniques have been used for years in commercial building, they only recently have been integrated into the residential arena, with fewer than 500 homes certified nationwide.

All of our homes are designed for maximum homeowner benefits.
