Built by WCI Communities, Inc., Evergrene is a sustainable residential development in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. This 363-acre (147-hectare) development currently has 615 single- and multifamily residences, and will add 385 more by 2007. The project is characterized by a strong emphasis on the area’s natural resources: 163 acres (66 hectares) are devoted to wildlife habitat and recreational open spaces. Many of the homes are arranged around a 36.5-acre (14.8-hectare) recreational lake and newly created wetlands. The emphasis on nature is echoed by WCI Communities’ commitment to sustainable development and green building practices. WCI offers homebuyers a range of environmentally sensitive features, such as those that increase energy efficiency and improve indoor air quality.
