Glenwood Park harvests approximately 35,000 gallons of water per week using a combination of storm water and well water - thus avoiding any use of potable water from the City of Atlanta for our drought resistant landscaping.
Did you know... During construction, Glenwood Park recycled 800,000 pounds of granite ruble blocks! That's enough material to build all of the walls in our central park out of granite.
The 2005 Southern Living Idea House at Glenwood Park automatically calculates an irrigation schedule using landscape-specific parameters, then adjusts the irrigation schedule for each of the watering zones via satellite as local weather changes.
Glenwood Park recycled 250,000 pounds of metals removed from the site and recycled 259,200,000 pounds of concrete (60,000 Cubic Yards), an amount equal to an acre of concrete at 36 feet deep!
Did you know... Glenwood Park reduced the amount of stormwater runoff from its site by two thirds and treats approximately 61,000 cubic feet of water (426,000 gallons) for every 1.2" rainfall.
Glenwood Park has planted over 1000 trees and thousands of other plants, flowers, and shrubs creating shade and comfort, while also absorbing thousands of gallons of stormwater and significantly reducing heat island effects.
The Glenwood Park pool building uses a geothermal system for its club house and nine units. According to the International Ground Source Heat Pumps Association, every geothermal unit installed eliminates an amount of CO2 equal to planting an acre of trees.

Our mission is to create walkable, sustainable city neighborhoods.

Green Street Properties is an Atlanta-based development company.  We develop urban properties into mixed-use, master planned neighborhoods which are walkable and environmentally sustainable.  We believe that great cities and neighborhoods have an authentic sense of place which comes from:
  • A dynamic public realm 
  • A fine-grained mix of uses
  • The use of transportation alternatives to the automobile
  • Environmentally sustainable practices
  • Connectivity of physical components
  • A focus on quality over quantity
  • The sensitive blending of old and new

We strive to create these attributes in developments which are financially prosperous for our investors and stakeholders.

Green Street's greatest strengths are in creating a vision for a property and in executing complexity.  Our particular depth of experience is in the redevelopment of post-industrial brownfield sites; the development of medium density residential and commercial properties; development in and around the City of Atlanta; and development using comprehensive environmental sustainability practices, ranging from location-efficient site selection to environmentally sensitive land development, to green construction practices and operations.
