Hankin Group, a vertically integrated real estate company, announced the opening of Hamilton Passive House, promoting the property as Pennsylvania’s first Phius ZERO apartment community and one of the nation’s first Phius ZERO communities that is 100% market rate.
Phius ZERO is an industry-setting standard for net zero energy design and the highest certification from Phius, the leading certifier of passive house projects in North America.
The new 32-unit luxury building features R40 insulated walls designed to create an estimated 40% reduction in heat flow compared to lower performance R20 insulation; rooftop solar PV array, expected to generate 217,825 kWh annually and eliminate electricity bills for residents; hybrid heat pump water heaters, delivering near instant hot water that is four-times more energy efficient than standard electric heaters utilizing approximately 70% fewer heaters; and PVC and sustainable rice hull siding, which is made from 100% recycled and tree free materials to support natural habitats and biodiversity.
Hamilton Passive House is a 32-unit, four-story building offering one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments with energy efficient and sustainable features. Community amenities include a resort-style pool with outdoor TV, golf and multisport simulator, top-of-the-line fitness center, pet spa and bark park, and EV charging stations.
The new property completes the first phase of Hamilton at Eagleview, a 156-unit eco-friendly apartment community in Exton, Pennsylvania.
“For more than 20 years, Hankin Group has been committed to environmentally conscious development, and we’re proud to represent the future of sustainable living with Hamilton Passive House,” said Bob Hankin, president and CEO at Hankin Group. “Phius has been an incredible partner throughout this process, and we hope today’s milestone inspires a continued investment in our environment from developers across the country.”
