Ankeny Row includes six craftsman-style townhomes, a shared common building and a garden and courtyard. The urban infill development includes a second-story two-bedroom condo, two street-facing three-bedroom townhouses, and three garden-facing three-bedroom townhouses. All of the homes have been sold.
All of the buildings were designed as Passive Houses, utilizing a combination of super-insulated and airtight construction, heat-recovery ventilation and passive solar heating. As a result, the buildings’ heating loads have been reduced by 90% compared to typical new homes. The buildings will produce all of their own energy from rooftop solar arrays, allowing them to achieve net-zero energy performance.
Other sustainable features of the project include:
- Zola FSC Meranti Wood ultra-high performance windows.
- Stainless steel, ENERGY STAR-certified appliances.
- Zehnder high-efficiency heat recovery ventilator, providing excellent indoor air quality.
- Low-flow water fixtures.
- Low-VOC paints and finishes.
- Structures built entirely with wood products certified by Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
- A Walk Score of 86.
- Native trees, plants, groundcover and mulch.
Designed and built by Portland-based Green Hammer, Ankeny Row is the flagship Portland project for the Earth Advantage Net Zero & EA NZ Ready program. Construction began in November 2013 and is expected to be complete by Fall 2014.
Greetings,
Any chance of us getting some information about the costs of the remaining units, and or availability? We are an elderly couple searching for a compatible living space in Portalnd and our good friends Becky and Brian Wilsson suggested we contact you. We are seriously interested in what you have created. We are financially secure, with no debt but must be somewhat frugal to make our funds last. We would consider an upper unit if there was and elevator, since Stan has trouble with stairs.
We hope to hear from you, soon.
Stan and Patricia Larson
How much are the town homes? Of the 3 available that is…
This is exactly what I’ve been dreaming about building. Would I be able to see more detailed plans?
