Boylan Development - North Carolina's First LEED Certified Condo Community Awarded Silver Certification

(Raleigh, N.C.)- Boylan Companies, a leading local organization providing a seamless range of comprehensive real estate services, is proud to announce that its LEED Certified condominium community, The Landing at Southpoint, has been awarded Silver certification for its exceptional level of performance for green, environmentally aware practices. LEED for Homes is an initiative designed to promote the transformation of the mainstream homebuilding industry toward more sustainable, eco-friendly practices.

In an attempt to provide national consistency in defining features of a green home and to enable builders anywhere to obtain a green rating on their homes, the LEED for Homes Rating System is part of the comprehensive suite of LEED assessment tools offered by USGBC to promote sustainable design, construction and operations practices in buildings nationwide. The LEED for Homes Rating System measures the overall performance of a home in eight categories, each with a unique intent or goal. A minimal level of performance is required in each category, while improved performance is rewarded with additional points. The level of performance is indicated by four performance tiers- Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum- according to the number of points earned.

"With a commitment to a more sustainable future, we are honored to be awarded Silver certification for North Carolina's first LEED Certified condominium community," said Dustin Field, CEO of Boylan Companies. "The Landing at Southpoint proves that living in an eco-friendly environment does not mean sacrificing the better things in life."

Located less than five minutes from Research Triangle Park and less than two miles from The Streets at Southpoint, The Landing at Southpoint is Durham's most desirable luxury condominium community. The community borders a lush, federally protected waterfowl and wetlands area and features meticulous landscaping and plentiful parking throughout. With careful planning and innovative design, the 54 luxury flats serve as North Carolina's first LEED Certified condominium community, adding 54 LEED certified homes to the current roster of 3 homes in North Carolina.
