During this project, Stream Real Estate Development & Investment offset 1,010 tons of carbon by planting 202 trees in partnership with Forterra’s Evergreen Carbon Capture program, right here in Washington. Of the 131 tons of construction material generated from the project, 126 tons were diverted from the landfill! Virtually all of the roof deck is permeable pavers, planters, or green roof to mitigate stormwater runoff, provide gardening space for tenants, and reduce heat gain.

Shou sugi ban creates not only visual appeal, but also a long-lasting, low-maintenance siding with a low embodied-carbon footprint. Further lowering its carbon footprint is the 16.8kW solar photovoltaic system installed to offset energy consumption.
