green building coalition @ Oberlin
We were pleased to host the Northeast Ohio Green Building Coalition last week.
It was terrific to show off the project to such an appreciative and inquisitive group of people in the sustainable design field.
The NEOGBC was kind enough to post some pictures of the event. Take a peak

The first of our 2010 YLG Meet the Developer Breakfasts series will feature Josh Rosen , Ben Ezinga and Naomi Sabel , principals of Sustainable Community Associates (Developers of the East College Street Project in Oberlin).
The series this year will highlight firms engaged in development opportunities related to servicing the needs of colleges and universities and their surrounding communities. The discussion of SCA’s development strategy and the challenges involved in making their project a reality in a down economy and small college town will provide a unique discussion by new real estate developers.
SCA began in 2001 while Mr. Rosen , Ezinga and Ms Sabel were still students at Oberlin College . The East College Street Project began initially as a vision of a community center for local youth, but turned into a vibrant mixed use project that has helped to address several of Oberlin’s long term challenges, including high quality housing for mixed incomes, development of a new business, job creation, and the need to attract more people to Oberlin’s city center.
Moving in
Over the past week the first people have moved into the East College Street Project.
More will trickle in over the weeks and months to come.
Seeing people walk into their new homes has reminded us that the best real estate development isn’t just about bricks and mortar but also about people and community.
