Designed specifically to meet rigorous LEED Silver standards, the site incorporates high-efficiency water practices, EV charging stations, low-energy lighting, advanced stormwater management and a comprehensive recycling program. Additionally, the facility's 125 KNAPP units operate entirely on lithium-ion battery power. Construction on the facility began in December 2024, and the building was completed in July 2026.
