Arlington, VA (March 30, 2015) – Arlington Mill Residences, owned and developed by the Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing (APAH), was named Multi Family New Construction Project of the Year, as part of EarthCraft Virginia’s 6th Annual Sustainable Leadership Awards, the organization’s yearly awards presentation to recognize Virginia leaders in the adoption of green, sustainable housing.

“Arlington Mill Residences is an innovative public/private partnership using “public land for public good” to provide 122 units of much needed quality new affordable housing,” said Nina Janopaul, APAH President/CEO. “Built to EarthCraft Virginia standards, Arlington Mill’s energy efficient and environmentally friendly features include 15 SEER HVAC systems, gas tankless hot water heaters and EnergyStar-rated windows and appliances.”

APAH was honored on Thursday evening at a ceremony in Richmond which brought together over 100 individuals representing home builders, nonprofit and for-profit housing providers and developers, affordable housing advocates and those interested in creating green housing opportunities in Virginia. Awards were presented in a variety of categories to cover new construction, renovation, single family homes, multifamily housing and more.

“Our annual Sustainable Leadership Awards recognize the best initiatives in sustainable housing in Virginia over the past year,” says EarthCraft Virginia Executive Director, K.C. Bleile. “Now in its sixth year, we feel privileged to honor the dedicated individuals who continue to amaze us with their passion for high-performance home building.
