Wingate Manor Senior Living Community Wins National Green Building Award


RALEIGH, N.C. (May 18)—The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Monday evening awarded Wingate Manor in Shiloh, Ill. as its GREEN Affordable Multifamily Project of the Year. The senior living facility and its builder, Gundaker Commercial Group, were honored at the 12th Annual NAHB National Green Building Conference in Raleigh, N.C.
 
“This facility is a great example of green building done right while also done affordably,” said Eric Borsting, chair of the NAHB Green Building Subcommittee.  “This should be an example for multifamily builders everywhere to look to when constructing energy-efficient and earth-friendly housing in their own communities.”
