The Crossing, for one thing, is a non-smoking community that’s also filled with environmentally friendly features.

If that’s not enough, a multitude of amenities – from in-home washers and dryers to a 14-seat home theater – might be a draw. Not to mention gardens growing mojito ingredients.

Stop by today and see why the Orange County Register were amazed just stepping in our lobby, you will be amazed too.

Above is a recent aerial photo of The Crossing Apartments. We have almost completed the preleasing for the first building, comprised of eight townhomes. Our next phase of apartments will be released in mid-November, so hurry in to get on the reservation list.

The most notable item in the photo is the white roofing material. The building’s white roof membrane is highly reflective and reduces heat island effect by reducing heat gain and increasing exterior envelope performance. The cool roof material keeps the building cooler while lessening the HVAC load for the residences, resulting in lower energy use and reduced energy bills for residents.

The white roof is just one of the reasons why The Crossing is “green” by design and makes the building eligible for LEED Silver certification. Be sure to check back for more information on our LEED credits obtained and how Sares-Regis Group is committed to developing sustainable communities.
