Pravada sets the standard of modern green living- where living green doesn't require sacrifice. As the recipient of the prestigious 2007 Project Planning Award given by the California Chapter of the American Planning Association, Pravada has been recognized as one of the top multi-family smart growth projects in the state. A LEED® Gold certified community, Pravada is the next strop in urban-style living, where convenience meets environmental responsibility. Pravada is green from the ground-up. During construction site selection, materials and engineering have all been considered, including:

• Site selected based on access to public transportation and other points of interest
• Indoor air quality control throughout the construction period
• Exterior down lighting to reduce light pollution
• Covered parking to reduce heat island effect and contribute to a cooler living environment
• Investment in green power
• At least 50% of construction waste diverted from landfills
• 10% or more of building materials made of recycled content reducing impacts of manufacturing
• At least 50% of building materials were produced locally reducing impacts of transportation
