Austin, Texas will soon be home to a new green suburban development. Fiore, as the project is called, will be the first 5-star green community in the country.

With an emphasis on community space, Fiore contains a community park with a community garden, playground, hike and bike trails, and a hammock court Other project highlights are:

• Single-family dwellings built to the highest green living standards
• Contemporary homes designed in a distinctly Austin style
• Climate integration, with homes oriented for proper solar shading, maximum natural light, deep overhangs, outdoor fireplaces and shaded patios
• Garage outlets to accommodate PHEVs (plug-in hybrids) and other green vehicles

“Austin was an environmentally aware community long before being so was a part of the national consciousness,” said Bryan Jordan of Vicinia Development, who was part of the Fiore design team. “It therefore made a lot of sense to design a 5-star green community for this city. Austin also fosters a very active, rugged outdoor lifestyle. Fiore represents a synergy of all of these components into one community.”
