A new era of sustainable urban living has arrived in downtown Phoenix with the completion of ECO Phoenix, a purposefully designed apartment community developed by CCBG Architects.
Found at 3rd Avenue and Roosevelt Street, ECO Phoenix consists of 70 thoughtfully crafted residences, offering a modern and environmentally friendly living experience, according to a press release.
The development integrates more than 3,300 SF of retail space, solar energy utilization, a car-share program, greywater recycling, and other forward-thinking amenities that redefine urban sustainability, the release states.
Designed to blend seamlessly into the vibrant arts district and cultural hub of Downtown Phoenix, ECO Phoenix, 301 E. Roosevelt, represents a progressive approach to urban infill projects, a hallmark of CCBG Architects.
“ECO Phoenix supports the city’s ongoing commitment to sustainable growth while providing residents with access to eco-conscious living in the Downtown urban core, and of one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods,” said CCBG architects partner Paul Ladensack. “By integrating renewable energy solutions and innovative sustainability programs, ECO Phoenix helps set a new standard for responsible residential development.”
ECO Phoenix, which totals 125,000-square feet, comprises one, five-story building. The $20 million multifamily project opened in January. It is owned and developed by Habitat Metro/ECO Phoenix.
ECO Phoenix features a rooftop solar array that provides residents with year-round clean energy, offsetting power bills by up to 50 percent. Units are equipped with modern finishes including quartz countertops, wood-style flooring, stainless steel appliances, and efficient lighting. ECO Phoenix is outfitted with EV chargers throughout the parking garage.
“Touch lightly on the earth and leave a small footprint: this is the ethos behind Habitat Metro’s ECO-branded multifamily projects,” Mr. Ladensack, who added that Habitat Metro also developed a 102-unit community, ECO Mesa, in the East Valley. “ECO Phoenix offers expansive floorplans with stunning finishes. Living sustainably doesn’t mean sacrificing beauty or quality.”
