Aspira is officially Four Star Green Certified, the first of our kind to enjoy the honor in Downtown Seattle

Last Thursday was an exciting day here at Aspira!  The Aspira team and residents were treated to a commemorative ceremony  in honor of Built Green awarding our property it’s coveted Four Star Environmental Certification.  King County Executive Dow Constantine bestowed the award in person on the Aspira Courtyard Terrace to the Aspira development team from Keller CMS Inc. in front of local notables, community partners and media.

Aspira is the first and only residential high-rise building in Seattle to achieve this exciting status.  Property Manager Patrick Merritt explained to the assembled crowd how the consideration towards environmentally friendly choices was at the forefront of the concept throughout the entire planning and construction process.  It was extremely gratifying to see the months and months of dedication on the part of the involved parties acknowledged with such an unprecedented achievement.

After the ceremony on the terrace, the crowd moved through to the parking garage to watch King County Executive Dow Constantine be one of the first to plug into the electric car recharging stations, located on the second level of the parking garage.  Among the numerous other eco-conscious touches that you will find throughout the property that helped us reach the Four Star status are motion sensors for lights in all sporadically-trafficked rooms, walkways and hallways; optimally efficient heating and air conditioning units; and low flow fixtures.
