Owner's note:
Mississippi Avenue Lofts features a state of the art Mitsubishi HVAC system designed to exchange energy to hot and cool areas of the building and exceed a 25% reduction in energy use. Other features include an environmentally friendly KONE EcoSpace elevator and regionally produced Jeld-Wen Energy Star Rated Low E window and door systems. Plumbing fixtures include TOTO and Hansgrohe low flow faucets and dual flush toilets designed to exceed 30% water use reduction. Regionally produced 100% pre-consumer recycled SkyBlend particleboard cores are used in alder finished cabinets and built-ins.
The building is constructed using 350,000lbs of 98% post consumer recycled rebar that travels less than 300 miles round trip from the mill to the jobsite, 180,000lbs of 95% post consumer recycled structural steel fabricated regionally, 100,000 board feet of FSC Certified timber from a local supplier and 3000 tons of regional concrete.
When the previous 7500 sf building on the Brownfield site was deconstructed over 500 tons of debris was removed with only one truck of non-recyclable waste going to a landfill.
