Mixed-Use Community Developments
Mixed-use, smart-growth communities are compact, walkable, transit-oriented communities that preserve and enhance natural resources. Such communities rank high with more buyers today. A recent study by the National Association of Realtors found that 55 percent of Americans would choose compact, pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use neighborhoods. Many, especially Gen Xers (the generation born between 1965 and 1977), believe that buying a home in a smart-growth community is “the right thing to do” (Rocking the Ages: The Yankelovich Report on Generational Marketing).
Increasingly, developers and planners realize that smart-growth communities can provide marketing leverage to home builder and home user alike, both from a quality-of-life and economic-advantage standpoint. NSU is the first and only national provider of turn-key, full-lifecycle sustainable water systems for any such smart-growth plan.
When developers are either unable to, or simply prefer not to, connect to municipal or city sewer, Natural Systems Utilities offers innovative and cost-effective methods to collect, treat, and reuse wastewater on site. We help developers create a greater sense of community while preserving open space and maintaining natural wildlife habitat. NSU’s integrated and sustainable solutions are ideally suited to this fast-growing market segment.
