CARLSBAD, Calif. (Jan. 20, 2010) – San Diego new home builder Brookfield Homes has introduced its first eco-savvy neighborhood, Rockrose at The Foothills in Carlsbad, where every single-family home built will exceed California’s standards for energy efficiency by at least 35 percent.
“Brookfield Homes made this commitment based on consumer demand for quality-built new homes that save energy and water, contribute to better personal health and have a lesser impact on the environment,” said Lora Heramb, vice president of sales and marketing for Brookfield Homes. “We have increased energy efficiency through six different approaches and made additional eco-savvy options available at affordable prices.”
The six areas of eco-savvy concentration for each Rockrose home are:
- Energy conservation
- Water conservation
- Waste reduction
- Indoor air quality
- Sustainable building materials / wood conservation
- Renewable energy / solar power (optional)
Ranging from approximately 2,116 to 3,167 square feet, the four floor plans at Rockrose will have three to four bedrooms and two to 4.5 bathrooms. Pricing is anticipated to start in the low $620,000s.
The Rockrose sales information center is now open at 3642 Glen Ave., in Carlsbad, and builder Brookfield Homes anticipates the first homes to be available for sale by mid-February. A grand opening of three model homes at Rockrose is planned for Spring 2010. For updates as more information becomes available, join the interest list at www.brookfieldsd.com.
