The building’s beauty and sustainability are highlighted by its earthy exterior and timber frame construction. Illinois Torrence Place also has environmentally friendly lighting, heating, plumbing, paint, coatings, and appliances.
It has therefore been designated as an Enterprise Green Communities Building. This is because of its high levels of sustainability, desire to lessen its impact on the environment, and commitment to enhancing resident health.
The team behind the Illinois Torrence Place project
The Full Circle Communities created Illinois Torrence Place. Christian Community Health Center, Skender, Ashlaur Construction, Cordogan Architecture, Clark & Associates were also a part of the, and CAGE Civil Engineering were all members of the project team.
According to Joe Pecoraro, Project Executive at Skender, “the outcomes speak for themselves when you put together a team with a common objective to better the community.”
“The inclusion of a health clinic gave a deeper level of significance, which fueled our enthusiasm for this project. We constructed more than just a housing development; we constructed a sense of comfort, well-being, and belonging.
