Follow on Google News | NorthWest Crossing Included in Urban Land Institute Best Practices BookPrestigious book lists Bend, Oregon neighborhood in top 48 in the world
By: David Ford “The Urban Land Institute considers projects from all over the world for its programs, so to be included in this international publication is a great honor,” said David Ford, general manager for NorthWest Crossing. “We have paid close attention to designing and building a sustainable community that really ‘works’ for its residents, and being recognized this way confirms our commitment to thoughtful development.” The illustrated, hardcover book came out this fall and includes photos, a development story and statistical data on each project. Projects were selected based on financial viability, the resourceful use of land, design, relevance to contemporary issues, and sensitivity to the community and environment. The book is available at the Urban Land Institute’s Web site at www.uli.org. About NorthWest Crossing: NorthWest Crossing is a mixed-use community on Bend’s west side which has won several national awards for its green building practices, as well as receiving the PCBC’s 2008 Gold Nugget Award of Merit for Master-Planned Community of the Year, Urban Land Institute’s 2007 “Development of Excellence” award and Cottage Living magazine’s 2008 Top Cottage Neighborhoods. West Bend Property Company LLC, a partnership of Brooks Resources Corporation and Tennant Family Limited Partnership, is developing the community.
