The "developer" is not a large investor, but an individual architect looking to build one of the first green projects in Metro Columbus.  It's a small scale project in comparison to other condo's in the area, but it is a great and rare opportunity for those interested in Green living to work one on one in the feedback and design directly with the architect/ investor.  We also feel the townhomes are appealing not only for their green aspects, but for the fact that we consider them to be at a affordable price range of $259,000- $264,900 for a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath, approx 1600 sqft, with a rooftop garden, a fenced yard and garage parking...which is in align with comparable homes sales in the same neighborhood.  Recent homes in the same block (and the same modern type design) have sold for $275,000 and $309,000 within the past few months.

At that location, they'd be waiting an awful long time to unload those at the price they're asking ($264,000+). Green or no.  I live just south of there.

I'd love to see Columbus get a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_house">passive</a> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/27/world/europe/27house.html">house</a>, too. I think it's <a href="http://www.ecohouseohio.com/construction.php">doable</a>. Nice! I’d love to see Columbus get a passive house, too. I think it’s doable.
