ECO/EDGE Allston Green District - Allston, MAAllston, MA EDGE and ECO are the culmination of an ambitious development conceived by The Mount Vernon Company. As the final two buildings in Allston’s “Green District”, they offer stylish alternatives for those seeking eco-friendly rental opportunities.
ECO and EDGE, both LEED Platinum certified, are the most energy efficient buildings in the Green District, with a HERS rating / LEED score of 95 for ECO and 91 for EDGE.
Residents are asked to sign a “Green Lease” and agree to follow sustainable lifestyle routines including on-site recycling and composting, hydration stations throughout the building and the use of public transportation. Both buildings offer electric-car charging and ample bike storage, as well as on-site access to car and bike sharing.
Residents are responsible for their own energy use, with separately metered heating, cooling and water. Water intake has been reduced by 40% to date.
PCA’s design incorporates modern, high-efficiency design with meticulous building envelope detailing, renewable materials selection, large windows to maximize the use of natural light and high efficiency heating, cooling and lighting systems.
Both fully leased on opening day, ECO and EDGE are bringing the future to multi-family housing, proving the viability of high quality, contemporary and sustainable housing for the middle market.
