Global developer Taurus Investment Holdings (Boston) has officially opened its $2 billion sustainable community, Whisper Valley, in East Austin, Texas. The company’s vision is to attract buyers who want to lead a socially responsible lifestyle with affordable and energy efficient homes in a sustainable development.
“We came to Austin because there is already an appetite for sustainable living and we’ve had a terrific response,” said Douglas Gilliland, president of Taurus of Texas. “What makes us different from other eco-developments is the size and scale of Whisper Valley and the ability to offer high-tech, sustainable homes utilizing renewable energy sources without sacrificing affordability. In fact, the resale value of these homes will be higher because of the features that we have already built into them.”
