PROJECT FACT SHEET

PS Property, LLC. Is building a three story, 2 bath, LEED Platinum registered home located in the New East Kensington area of Philadelphia at 2217 Coral St. This project was the featured “LEED GREEN” home used for training purposes for this year’s annual “Building Safety Month” by the City of Philadelphia’s L & I Department.

Delara Tourism Corporation (DTCL) had a vision for developing an Ecotourism Park in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, and was looking to integrate green development into the entire project. Construction is now underway on the park, which will be a landmark facility destination for tourists, families, and local workers--one that is a successful public-private partnership benefiting the government of Andhra Pradesh, the developers, and the local community.

The three port authorities along the Delaware River--the Delaware River Port Authority, the South Jersey Port Corporation, and the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority--teamed up on a regional effort to improve the sustainability of their individual and collective operations. This initiative, called the Green Ports Initiative, will allow the participating authorities to have both immediate and long-range actions to meet their sustainability goals, operate with greater efficiency, and lessen their impact on the environment when fully implemented.

As of 2010, the 218,000-square-foot facility, housing 950 employees, is the third-largest new construction Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Platinum level building on the planet. Evan Welsh, SAP AG’s global media relations specialist, explained it has ripple benefits, as well. 

Entry to the building is through a passageway that features a floor comprised of recycled materials, including seashells and pieces of crushed bottles and glass and the bamboo drop ceiling.
