Green Features

Corporate Conscience: Sustainable “Green” Design

The chief sustainable feature is the site selection itself; a vacant brownfield site currently used for material storage and parking. Along with other site features, the stormwater runoff will be captured from the roof and redirected into the rain garden which, along with native vegetation and integrated swales will help to achieve the desired biofiltration and ground water recharge effects as well as to control the amount of water runoff diverted into Paxton Creek.

Areas of the parking lot and truck loading docks will be located next to bio-filtration gardens that will filter pollution from the run off rainwater before it reaches Paxton Creek. The entire complex will provide the City of Harrisburg with an additional 80,000 SF of office space, an additional 15,000 square feet of retail space, and 90,000 square feet of factory space. Besides the opportunity of jobs and business development this project will produce, it also has the potential to spark a rebirth in business development along Cameron Street, and add to the strength of an American City on the rise. The project is currently in the final stages of design, with construction scheduled to begin during the summer of 2006.
