OTP makes the News, again

Oak Terrace Preserve was featured in the Charleston Post & Courier this past Saturday.  We were interviewed about two months ago for the article and it's nice to see it in print.  We got a good laugh at our "construction backgrounds," all in all it's a good article.  Any press may be good press but good press is better.

Oak Terrace Preserve and Noisette Featured in SC Public Television

This past Earth Day, South Carolina's Public Television Station (ETV) featured our neighborhood as part of their weekly show, "The Big Picture."  I missed the show at the time of airing but thanks to the internet, we can catch the show online.  

During the show they have a few spots with voice overs while video runs past homes in the neighborhood.  Our house is in there with all the others.  The section of the show specifically on Oak Terrace Preserve and the Noisette projects is only the first 8 minutes of the show.

Here's a link to the show.

 

Oak Terrace Preserve in the news - Again.

Yet another article on Oak Terrace Preserve. Last month, the Charleston Regional Business Journal reported on the sales success of the earth-friendly homes in Oak Terrace Preserve. The article highlights the neighborhood's proximity to North Charleston's "historic downtown" and the ongoing developments at the Navy Yard.

Home sales in Oak Terrace have been going well and I can say there have been a lot of new foundations going in this month. There is a lot of construction going on.

More Buzz

It's been nearly a week since we've been by the house but I know plumbers have been "plying their trade" and folks were working on the porch when we were there last.

Doing a little internet browsing this morning, I ran accross this article (North Charleston – SC’s Most Sustainable City?) on the Blog site Get Inspired Charleston. If you get a chance, check out their other articles. Nice to hear about the good stuff going on in Charleston.

Progress in Oak Terrace

Take a minute to look over the press release about Oak Terrace. It's in the "News" section of the Oak Terrace Preserve website (http://oakterracepreservesc.com/).

"Businesses find 'green' practices can help their bottom line"

The Charleston Post & Courier carried this article today.

Businesses find 'green' practices can help their bottom line

It's nice to see a more in depth article on the green/sustainability movement from a business perspective in Charleston. The article takes the time to highlight the increased awareness and interest on the part of companies to use green, local and sustainable products in their production. Several Examples include Coast Brewing, a local craft brewer who will be using organic hops and grains and bio-diesel for the brewing; EverGreen Concepts, a firm that help builders and renovators loacate and use local and sustainable products; local builders like the Verdi Company; neighborhood development efforts like Oak Terrace Preserve; and companies creating new products from recycled materials like Fisher Recycling.

Charleston's growing green movement isn't completely unique but the grassroots and broader support for sustainable and local materials bodes well for business and the environment. The growing desire for energy efficient and healthier homes is long overdue.
