Real estate investment firm Caliber and Modus Development are partnering on their second net-zero energy project. Eclipse, a $9.1 million, 20-unit townhome development, is currently under way in Scottsdale, Ariz., and is expected to be completed in December.
Eclipse townhomes are designed to meet DOE Zero Energy Ready requirements. The sustainable community will also incorporate Apple and Google home automation, with virtual assistants, security, energy management, electrical, and lighting features that can be monitored and controlled from residents’ smartphones.
“Eclipse is meant to be an inspiration for how sustainability and home automation technology can coexist to bring an unprecedented ease and comfort of living while preserving environmental resources,” says Chris Loeffler, Caliber co-founder and CEO. “We’re excited to offer this forward-thinking community with location, design and innovation as a new way of living that truly sets itself apart from other townhome communities.”
The 1.46-acre, gated development is arranged in a circular design with three, three-story townhome buildings. Two- and three-bedroom units are available, ranging from 1,800 to 2,000 square feet, and each unit includes a two-car garage. Eclipse residents will have convenient access to downtown Scottsdale retail and dining, the developers say, as well as the burgeoning McDowell technology corridor.
Eclipse townhomes start in the $400,000s, and adjust for view premiums, technology packages, and floor plan selections. Sustainable technologies are offered in base and optional packages, according to buyers’ customization preferences.
