Charlottesville, VA (PRWEB) June 13, 2017 -- Stony Point Design/Build, a premiere real estate development firm in Central Virginia, announced today that it has installed a solar parking canopy at Riverside Village to serve the residents of The River House condominiums. The structure is the first of its kind in the Charlottesville area and will offset up to 100% of the common area electricity usage for the building.

Stony Point Design/Build worked with the construction team at Martin Horn to build The River House condominium complex. From it’s inception The River House was designed with sustainability, accessibility, and livability as guiding principles. The building is EarthCraft Mulitifamily certified, a program which provides third party verification and a blueprint for healthy, comfortable homes that reduce utility bills and promote a healthy environment.

As part of this effort, Stony Point Design/Build envisioned an architectural solar structure that would provide covered parking as well as clean energy for the building. Stony Point Design/Build partnered with Charlottesville-based commercial solar company Sun Tribe Solar to bring the vision to life. Consisting of 100 solar modules, the system will produce an estimated 35,000 Kilowatt hours per year.

“We had an idea that performance, sustainability, and budget could come together in an innovative way, and Sun Tribe Solar responded to our RFP with a can-do attitude,” said Chris Henry, General Manager and Chief Operating Officer of Stony Point Design/Build. “From there we began collaborating with Martin Horn, the County of Albemarle, Safeway Electric, Grigg Architects, Pye Interiors, Shimp Engineering and Engineering Solutions to craft the project. Innovative solutions require creativity, collaboration and persistance. We found that in each of the talented partners in our team and we are proud to see the vision come to life.”

“Martin Horn believes in sustainability. It’s a major focus of the way we run our business and the way we live our lives. Communities like The Riverside Village are the way of the future. We were excited to collaborate with this forward-thinking team and bring this project to life,” said Martin Horn President, John (Jack) Horn. “This is a great community to live in for those who want to live a sustainable, active lifestyle. At Martin Horn, that sort of lifestyle is important to us. We were glad to have been a part of the team that put this together,” said Project Manager, Robert Menasco.

“We are proud to have worked with Stony Point and Martin Horn on something that is a first in the area,” said Rich Allevi, Co-founder at Sun Tribe Solar. “Stony Point’s innovative project shows other businesses that there are many ways to incorporate renewable energy into their portfolio, and it is great to see companies like this helping to move solar forward in Virginia.”

The opening of The River House and the introduction of the solar parking canopy will be celebrated at a ribbon cutting ceremony later in June. The River House condominiums are located in Riverside Village off of Route 20-Stony Point Road in Charlottesville, VA.
