Homecrete Homes Inc of Stuart Florida, a leading builder of high performance, eco-friendly, sustainable homes and buildings, announced today that they have been selected as the exclusive general contractor for the Mezzaluna Springs mixed-use community located in Holmes County Florida. This community will showcase an array of affordable housing options as well as a variety of privately owned and operated commercial establishments, each featuring energy efficient and disaster resistant high-performance insulated concrete form (ICF) exterior walls.

"We are excited to be working with Homecrete Homes as our exclusive builder for the Mezzaluna Springs community," says Linda Christy, CMO for Mezzaluna Springs Development. "In addition to their recognized leadership in the ICF and Green Building Industry, the Homecrete Homes' team also shares our goal of building a community of energy-efficient, progressive and affordable homes and commercial structures to meet the changing needs of today's families and business owners."

Homecrete will perform all vertical construction of the planned 160 acre, three-phase development including a 3500 seat amphitheatre, 30,000 square feet of commercial suites, 22,000 square feet of loft-style apartments and 250 single-family residences, each having an old Florida "Key West" style look combined with New Urbanism density.

Residents and business owners alike will enjoy the energy saving benefits of ICF wall construction. Additional standard features including insulated window packages, spray foam roof insulation and high performance (SEER) mechanical equipment, will insure their peace of mind knowing that they are living and working in homes and buildings that will significantly reduce operating costs and stand up to hurricane and tornado-force winds so prevalent in the Florida market.

Each structure within Mezzaluna Springs will be built to the Florida Green Building Coalition Green Standards, offering the highest standards of eco-friendly materials and energy smart appliances. Homecrete, along with the developer, Mezzaluna Springs Development LLC will be working together to develop this progressive community committed to safe, healthy and sustainable living.
