Luxury new condos in Seattle going for LEED™ certification.

There is a very attractive new Seattle condo development seeking LEED certification – 5th and Madison, which is the premier new condo residential tower in the city. Over the past few months I’ve heard a lot about the (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ - the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and the program promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality.

5th and Madison is a truly unique new condo project, which offers myriad eco friendly details that the average eye would rarely notice. For example, 5th and Madison was built with recycled construction materials, it will have superior indoor air quality, and is 20% more energy efficient than industry standards currently require. In addition, this new Seattle community is promoting a healthy lifestyle and a way of living that connects its residents with nature, which is just on par with the upper northwest mentality. 5th and Madison even features a half-acre and ground-level green space that looks and acts like your own little park in the middle of all Seattle’s concrete and skyscrapers. This Seattle new condo project will feature units priced from the low $500s available in October, 2007. Check out 5th and Madison plus all other Seattle new condos on www.newcondosonline.com.
