Factors That Make Greenstone Different








Building Quality
We have a commitment to building quality into our homes and communities in terms of design, materials and workmanship. We build each new home to last for 100 years or more and contribute our best effort in design, energy efficiency, healthy living, and environmental sustainability.

Trees
We have a commitment to tree planting on every street in every community that we develop. No single factor contributes to the value of a community more than street trees.

Neighborhood Parks and Open Space
Parks and open space within walking distance of homes are crucial for livable neighborhoods. Our commitment is to provide a park or open space within walking access (1/4 mile) from every home that we build.

Walkable Communities
At Greenstone we strive to create mixed use developments linked together by dedicated pedestrian trail systems. Mixed use communities that accommodate employment, services and transit access within waking distance of homes are an essential element of sustainable development.

Neighborhood Schools
Greenstone is committed to neighborhood schools within our communities. Walking access to schools adds to the vitality and livability of a community and the sense of social connection.

Economic Diversity
Greenstone is committed to a wide range of home prices and products within our communities. This promotes an economically and socially diverse community.

Sense of Community
Greenstone works hard to foster a sense of community in each project by sponsoring neighborhood events and activities. This includes support for outdoor cinema, concerts, community block parties and farmers markets.

Greenstone Foundation
The Greenstone Foundation was established as a way for our organization to give back to the communities we serve. “Our mission is to serve the community we work in by supporting educational programs, health and nutrition programs and affordable housing.”
