Years ago, when today’s seniors were buying their first homes, the concept of green building had not yet been born. But now seniors in Tell City, Indiana, will experience the benefits of going green first hand as residents of River Pointe, a new, affordable senior apartment community built to rigorous National Green Building Standard (NGBS) requirements. CertainTeed’s SoftTouch™ duct wrap insulation will play a role in delivering that experience, as 24,000 square feet of the product has been installed.
River Pointe is a new, four-story, affordable apartment community for seniors, including 40 one- and two-bedroom apartments, 10 top-floor condominium residences, 8,000 square feet of retail space, and a rooftop terrace overlooking the Ohio River. The building is a key element in the revival of Tell City’s Seventh Street Corridor, an area that includes restaurants and shops along the river front.
