Certification is proof that buildings are going above and beyond to ensure the space is constructed and operated to the highest level of sustainability. More than 49,000 commercial and institutional projects are currently participating in LEED, in all 50 states and more than 170 countries and territories, covering more than 2 million residential units.
City View embodies two cornerstone commitments for WC Smith – our commitment to high quality affordable housing and our commitment to sustainable development. Green buildings allow us to live and work more sustainably in ways you can experience – in your health, the air you breathe, the water you drink.
With the addition of City View, WC Smith now has four affordable, LEED-certified properties in its portfolio: Sheridan Station (Platinum), Archer Park (Gold) and 2M (Gold).
