AWARDS AND ACCOLADES
Dedicated to our Environment
Our Green Initiatives
AMLI’s new developments meet or exceed LEED Silver and seek ENERGY STAR certification. AMLI Ponce Park was the first multifamily community in the southeast to achieve Fitwel certification.
Rooftop solar panels power shared resident spaces at four communities in Dallas. Common areas at AMLI’s Dallas communities are powered by 100% renewable energy.
Features like WaterSense fixtures, smart irrigation systems and native, adaptive landscaping help AMLI reduce water usage in community common areas and inside residents’ homes.
We utilize low/no VOC emitting materials such as paint, carpet and flooring. Our LEED certified communities also include fresh air ventilation and premium air filters. Offering fitness centers and other wellness-focused amenities promotes a healthy lifestyle for our residents.
Many AMLI communities are located within walking distance to neighborhood amenities and public transportation. Features like electric car charging stations, and bicycle storage and repair shops are another way we support lower carbon transit.
Select AMLI communities work with local partners to incorporate landscaping that helps pollinators connect and thrive.
AMLI offers recycling to our residents throughout the country and composting at Seattle and select Denver communities.
Engaging our Residents
AMLI’s Green Home Guides provide our residents with basic information about the special features of their LEED certified apartment home. We want residents to have a keen understanding of their home’s green features, save money on utilities, reduce their environmental footprint, and keep their home healthy.
Green home guides by region
AMLI educates and trains our onsite teams to be a good resource for our residents. Additionally, our communities facilitate resident events that connect them with green experts to learn more about living a greener lifestyle.
Giving Back Green
Many of our volunteer activities are sustainably focused because protecting our planet is one of the most important ways we can give back. Whether it's building a park or organizing a beach clean-up, we are committed to being a responsible steward of our environment. Learn more about how AMLI Gives back to our greater communities.
