The modular design of the apartment complexes allows for slag cement to replace 40% of the typical Portland precast cement mixture. Slag cement is a byproduct of steel manufacturing (which is a large local industry) and offers a significantly diminished environmental impact.

A groundwater recharge pit is located at the lowest point on site to collect water that falls on site with the help of shallow gutters.

A collection system is also built into the elevated park. Lastly, rainwater is gathered on the apartment rooftops and collected in a cistern to be used for a

April May June August September October July The concrete structure of the apartment buildings offer a high thermal mass that allows for the dampening of the temperature swings Memphis experiences to make the living spaces comfortable passively. Different open-window schedules are used throughout the year to keep the interior temperature in a comfortable range.
