As one of the project's stated goals, the Village at San Antonio Center aims to be sustainable, innovative and to be of long-term benefit to the City of Mountain View. The redevelopment of the existing site is considered an urban renewal effort and a step away from urban sprawl. The vertical orientation and density of the project conserves precious land, resources and reduces impact on the city's infrastructure.
The project will also incorporate an array of sustainable building materials and management practices with the goal of achieving LEED Core & Shell equivalent standards for the retail component. The residential project will be designed to meet the Build it Green program for Mulit-Family GreenPoint Standards. Sustainable measures will include storm-water treatment and filtration, low intensity/energy efficient lighting, preferred carpool and hybrid parking, among others. The project will also incorporate drought tolerant trees, plants and shrubs with smart irrigation controllers to reduce project water requirements while simultaneously providing natural canopy shading to the project area.
Secured bike racks, storage lockers and potentially employee shower facilities will be provided in conjunction with the pedestrian oriented design in an effort to reduce dependency on the automobile.
With the incorporation of the project's sustainable goals and practices, the newly redeveloped Village at San Antonio Center will not only meet some of the state's most stringent environmental standards (Title 24), but exceed them.
