The last few months of 2021 and the start of 2022 have been incredibly busy with the completion of four projects in four different states – Huntington Village in Newport News, VA; Friars Court in Hudson; NH; Depot Village in Hanson, MA; and Brookside Terrace in East Greenwich, RI.

 

All of these communities were built to ensure high energy-efficiency throughout the year. Huntington Village is Earthcraft gold certified, which addresses a wide range of sustainability considerations, including environmental performance, indoor air quality, building durability, comfort and affordability.

 

Friars Court, Depot Village and Brookside Terrace were all designed as Passive House projects. There are several benefits that residents will enjoy from living in a Passive House development, including savings in monthly utility bills from reduced energy use, high indoor air quality due to excellent ventilation, and a sound-proof home from air tightness and super insulation. An early adopter, Dakota is one of the nation’s most active Passive House developers of affordable housing with close to a dozen projects currently under construction or in development.
