An Multifaceted Multifamily Project Development

Projects for Pride In Living builds housing projects that facilitate stable housing and job readiness for communities and the people who live in them. The Opportunity Crossing Project aimed to demonstrate that sustainability and financial logic go hand-in-hand for new developments.

The goals at this project are primarily oriented around creating a safe space for housing including studios and multi bedroom options, while including amenities like a community room, playground, underground parking, coworking spaces and much more. The ground floor of the location will provide a commercial space for different types of entrepreneurship and house a local bank.

Next-Generation Heating and Cooling with Darcy

Darcy Solutions deployed a 2-well, 240-ton geothermal system for this 110-unit mixed-use affordable housing development. The aquifer-based heat pump system provides a blueprint for decarbonizing dense urban residential projects.

The Darcy system stands out for its ability to deliver superior energy performance on restricted sites. This location had a small footprint for executing all construction activities and drilling. Groundwater enabled geothermal was the only realistic solution to electrify the HVAC system. Allowing stakeholders to secure a high-efficiency, sustainable solution that provides lasting value and supports future growth.
