A groundbreaking is tentatively scheduled this month for Kimberton Village Green, a residential and commercial condominium complex touted as Chester County’s first green development.
The 28 condominiums are designed to minimize the impact on the Earth through building techniques that reduce construction waste, a sustainable approach to managing storm water runoff, and the extensive use of nontoxic paints and building materials, making the air inside much healthier. Technology will let residents see how they’re using energy in their homes, and ports for plug-in hybrid cars will be available in the garage.
Pirello said Kimberton Village Green has received a platinum rating from the U.S. Green Building Council due to its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) practices.
Pirello said the prefabricated condos are being delivered in early spring.
