Element – a green community

Building smarter, building stronger is the message that Element is sending across the Gulf Coast. Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast region, destroying homes and businesses and displacing families. Some of the damage lingers but the spirit and the courage of the people remain strong. Element is “cleaning-up and greening-up;” establishing itself with strong initiatives by building smart, safe and eco-friendly housing.

Element, a green community, is the perfect place for you and your family. Boasting of close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, shopping and recreation, Element consists of 123 townhomes and was created with a mind towards affordable and sustainable living. The homes feature 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 1 car garage. With access to the beach just blocks away, Element is a place where you can truly experience the beauty of the Gulf region.

Green Living - Rebuilding with a Purpose

Element features the latest green building practices that are good for you and the environment. With an eye toward environmental friendliness, Element is being built along the guidelines set forth in the National Green Building Standard for Homes program of the National Association of Home Builders. Element uses materials such as steel framing (which is recycled and recyclable) and blown-in foam insulation, along with “green” site design such as managed water runoff and designated green spaces.

Element is designed to be an energy efficient, eco-friendly community that will reduce the costs of living for its residents through the reduction in energy consumption. Smart building practices have also been utilized in the design to withstand the elements of living on the Gulf Coast.
