WHAT'S NEW? Temple II North Gratz Street Awarded LEED Platinum Certification Thursday, November 03, 2011 Temple II North Gratz Street has been certified LEED® for Homes™ Platinum! This historic rehabilitation of 29 brownstone buildings on the 1500 block of North Gratz Street has preserved 40 units of affordable family housing in the vicinity of Temple University in North Philadelphia and is the largest gut rehabilitation project certified under the LEED for Homes program at the Platinum level in the United States.  A celebration was held on November 3 to celebrate the revitalization of this block. We were honored to have many of our funders, board members, and community leaders, and tenants present. Highlights of the day included words of appreciation from resident Monique Bagley, followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony, as well as a few selections by the Society Church Choir & the R.M Warren Silent Choir, both from the Society for Helping Church (Deaf & Hearing).   The LEED Platinum certification and Enterprise Green Communities award underline 1260's committment to making green and affordable housing one and the same. Not only is it better for the health of our residents, but it directly impacts the stability and sustainability of the entire neighborhood.  The rehabilitation and restoration of historic housing stock preserves the integrity of the neighborhood and contributes to the revitalization of the community.
