Sustainability
The Ivory will be solar and carless.
We are offering buyers the opportunity to live without a vehicle by providing every mobility option available at your disposal and in an area that is easily accessible to downtown and major employment centers.
The Ivory redefines sustainability by:
providing solar coverage for ~90% of owner’s electric usage
adhering to the City of Austin’s Climate Protection Plan by not using gas to the building
creating a building with high green building standards
eliminating onsite parking spaces
providing owners private access to The Ivory’s two shareable cars
giving owners mobility credit and transit passes for other mobility options not provided onsite
providing a Mobility Hub featuring 5 B-Cyles, a new covered Cap Metro Bus Stop, private storage for e-bikes and plentiful lockable spaces for other bikes
Carless
The average household in America spends $15,000 per year owning a car! The Ivory is giving our owners the opportunity to finally let go of their car. We are providing you every available mobility option at your disposal.
The five B-cyles, the new bus stop with community-based art and the $500 mobility credit are all amazing, right! But the real creme de la creme are the electric vehicles that are on-site ONLY for you!
Through a partnership with an Austin-based carshare company, The Ivory will have two electric vehicles on-site that are ONLY for the owners! The carshare company will provide an App for each owner to reserve a car for a quick trip or a trip to the Hill Country.
Solar Energy
The Ivory has been modeled to have enough solar to cover close to 90% of electric needs for all residents. AND, since we are following the City’s Climate Protection Plan we do not have gas. So, that means, each owner will save close to $100 per month just in solar costs!
