LIVE GREEN
 |
We've been a leader in green building since 1998 - long before it became fashionable. And now, we're announcing an expanded commitment:
Starting today, all our newly designed homes will feature a comprehensive approach to earth-friendly and energy-saving design.
It's a program we call LivingSmart®. The LivingSmart program adds up to an incredible win-win for both Pardee homeowners and the planet.
When you add it all up, you get a home that year after year is looking out for your family's well-being, and your pocketbook. Learn more about the advantages of LivingSmart.
As part of our LivingSmart® program, Pardee Homes builds homes that are better for the
environment and better for you. With
EnergySmartTM,
EarthSmartTM,
WaterSmartTM and
HealthSmartTM features,
the LivingSmart program proves that sustainability pairs well with great architecture and functional design.
