The Laurel Crest development in California proves that green homes are not only environmentally friendly, but are also affordable. The project is completely eco-friendly and has been designed to be energy efficient as well as to promote the natural surroundings.

Major redevelopments are taking place at the former Fort Ord in the city of Marina, California. Marina was incorporated in 1975 and is the newest and fastest growing city in the Monterey Peninsula. The projects are extensive and include several recreational facilities, residential buildings, cultural centres, hotels and commercial buildings.
