We enable sustainable living, from transit-oriented locations to clean energy and high density planning. The way we build impacts not only our residents and neighborhoods, but also the whole world.

Density Drives a Lower
Carbon Footprint
The two biggest factors in determining the environmental impact of a building are simply its size and location. Our buildings outperform LEED certified buildings because they have less square footage per occupant and they are built in existing urban centers, minimizing materials for construction, energy for operation, and impact on open spaces.
At ArtHaus, we operate on a simple yet powerful principle: doing good for the world is integral to doing well as a business. A central part of our corporate strategy is giving back through philanthropy and volunteering. Our ArtHaus Foundation contributes to a variety of causes, donating a percentage of yearly profits to charities committed to improving lives and enacting global change.
Convenience
Without Cars
Our acquisition strategy targets sites along major transit corridors or in proximity to public transportation hubs. We also partner with ride-share providers like Uber to provide on-demand rentable cars for daily needs. We make it as convenient as possible for our residents to live a vehicle-free life.
Conscientious Construction
Wood gives a 27% reduction in overall carbon footprint compared to concrete and steel. This figure accounts for the removal of carbon sequestering organisms (trees) from the ecosystem. Simple wood framing also allows us to build faster, resulting in fewer labor costs and less waste.
ArtHaus Power is our proprietary energy company, providing clean energy to our properties. All of our new construction properties are powered by electric energy, and close to half of our portfolio buildings are supplemented by solar power.
