Hello all --

Just received word that Eastern Village Cohousing in Silver Spring, MD has
won a prestigious National Association of Home Builders Green Building Award
for 2005.

EVC won in the "Luxury Multifamily" category.  Seven of the units are
affordable and the remaining units have quite a price spread accommodating
many income levels.

The 56 unit project is a collaborative effort of Eco Housing Corporation &
Poretsky Building Group developers, EDG Architects, and, the members of
Eastern Village.

EVC is also seeking LEED certification from the US Green Building Council.
We hope to secure this certification very soon!
