Columbia Brookside Senior Residences is a brand new, master-planned, mixed-income community at the site of the former Jack R. Wells community. Move-ins are underway for seniors ages 55 and above. Leasing is now underway for classic family apartment residences. Both phases are pursuing LEED® certification, and the overall development will be one of Georgia’s first LEED®-ND communities. Incorporating these certified design and construction practices means that residents will enjoy enhanced walkability, increased energy savings and efficiency, and improved indoor air quality.

Sustainable design is part of Columbia Residential’s goal to deliver the best in class properties to the markets we build in. We are committed to designing and constructing sustainable properties and have built more than 900 LEED® certified apartment units to date.

These LEED® certified properties truly go beyond green with various environmental, economic, and health benefits unique to each of our “green” communities. We are not just creating an environmentally friendly place to live- we are creating a healthier, cleaner, and more sustainable place to call home.

Our Green Initiatives can be summarized as:

• Reducing our carbon footprint
• Building sustainable and efficient buildings that endure for the long term
• Minimizing impact to the environment we build in
• Providing higher degree of enhanced indoor air quality to our residents
• Conserving energy through designing a more efficient apartment building. In doing so, we are lowering our utility costs not only to our tenants, but as property owners as well
