RCP Companies is partnering with Grounded Capital Partners to bring the Wellory Living development to Huntsville. The six-story development situated on 4.2 acres on the corner of Old Monrovia and Stax Street will feature:

328 apartment units
13,582 square feet of ground floor retail
Coworking spaces
Roof-level lounge

The Net Zero Energy Concept

So what exactly is a “net zero energy” multifamily development? Net zero energy buildings generate as much renewable power as they use, using a mix of onsite renewable energy, electrification and deep efficiency measures to reduce its carbon footprint.

More than 40,000 square-feet of the Wellory Living roof is PV panels, generating power every day. Wellory Living’s design takes a dynamic approach to sustainability prioritizing continued reduction in impacts during construction, and operations moving forward. It is projected to be an all-electric building.

Essentially, the $108 million Wellory Living development aims to have a net zero impact through:

Solar cell photo-voltaic panels
Reflective roofing
Greatly reduced leakage and waste
Smart thermostats

“Wellory Living will showcase how sustainable living is achievable for all looking to decrease their carbon footprint.”
Parren James, Principal at Grounded Capital Partners
