ASHEVILLE, N.C., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Kassinger Development Group
and Pulliam Properties are breaking ground today for their latest
development in the South Asheville area. Response to the availability of
upscale 'green' condominiums and a commercial section of retail shops has
been incredibly strong through the initial reservation process, and
developers expect the Phase 1 sales release to go very quickly. The overall
interest in Weirbridge Village proves that the local Asheville real estate
market remains strong despite the slow-down in markets across the country,
and demand is especially strong for environmentally-friendly construction
projects locally.
"When we undertook the development of Weirbridge Village, one goal was
to lead the way in green building in the Asheville area and set a standard
for this type of building locally," said Chip Kassinger of Kassinger
Development Group. "We are tremendously pleased with the response to the
project thus far and are very excited to break ground today and to embark
on the initial construction of Weirbridge Village."
Weirbridge Village is one of the largest registered residential LEED
(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) projects in the country
setting the City of Asheville at the forefront of the green building
movement. The developers will incorporate design features identified in the
City's Smart Growth Policy and are working towards achieving Gold LEED
certification, the second highest ranking for the nationally recognized
standard in sustainable building. By achieving this voluntary
certification, the homes in Weirbridge Village will be healthier, more
comfortable and use less energy while at the same time having a reduced
impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
All buildings will be constructed of quality materials that promote
green- building. The community will feature energy efficient plumbing and
lighting, gutter systems that divert water for irrigation and controlled
access under building parking to conserve green space.
Weirbridge Village will be located at the foot of the Blue Ridge
Parkway nestled off Racquet Club Road in South Asheville within walking
distance of shopping, restaurants and medical facilities and located next
door to the Asheville Racquet and Fitness Club. The property will feature
1, 2 and 3 bedroom luxury condominiums starting in the $200's and offer
amenities such as a clubhouse, indoor pool, fitness facilities and winding
sidewalks.
