 Ironhorse at Central Station was awarded a Green Point Rating from Build It Green. With 146 points, it has almost triple the number of points needed to qualify.
|
This GreenPoint Rated affordable family housing developed by BRIDGE Housing is part of the emerging Central Station district anchored by Oakland's historic original train station.
This four-story “green” building curves around a podium-level courtyard with a freestanding community pavilion. Residents enter through an open-air lobby with a breezeway view of the interior landscaping and branch off to a mix of affordable units punctuated by glassed-in winter gardens.
East and west sides take on different aspects to answer diverse surrounding conditions: new townhouses on one end and a highway on the other.

This project earned more than twice the required points to receive a GreenPoint Rating.
• Vegetated “green roofs” that last longer than standard roofs and provide insulation from heat and sound.
• Solar-domestic hot water.
• Photo-voltaic arrays that supply all electricity for common areas.
• Certified CRI Green Label Plus carpets.
• Outdoor furniture made of recycled-material composite lumber.
• Landscape irrigation control that receives weather data via a satellite connection
• High-efficiency drip-irrigation system.
• Two vegetated swales, which naturally filter and percolate rainwater captured from the roofs into the water table.

Ironhorse stands at the center of development that is reintegrating some 29 acres of abandoned former industrial land into the surrounding residential neighborhood.
The project forms part of Central Station, a new master-planned undertaking by several developers including BUILD, a BRIDGE affiliate. A total of more than 1,200 new homes will be constructed, along with new neighborhood-serving retail and the anticipated restoration of Oakland's historic 16th Street Station.

 The flatter panels are solar electric photovoltaic collectors, while the larger panels that are installed at a steeper angle heat the hot water for domestic use in the building.
