The Cromley Lofts in Alexandria, Virginia have earned a Gold level certification making them the first condos in Virginia to become LEED certified.  These 8 beautiful units are located in The Old Town area of Alexandria in a vintage warehouse building circa 1910 — a fitting example of the environmental benefits of adaptive reuse.

The condos retain many elements of their commercial past, including
brick walls with spray paint and rough-hewn beams.  The Lofts’ green
elements include a gorgeous green roof, salvaged Georgian pine floors,
bamboo cabinetry, cork flooring, low-voc carpets, paints, glues and sealants, Energy Star appliances, and the wonderful dual-flush toilets. 

The style is a unique mix of rustic, industrial, and modern while still
achieving a sense of warmth.  One and two-bedroom units are available,
some with a rooftop terrace.  Prices range from $535,000-645,000.
Not cheap, but unique, green, and certainly fun.  Learn more about Cromley Lofts on their website.
