Building and Development

The Cottages at River Oaks neighborhood is a shining example of how the proper selection of efficient building materials can result in a 30% savings in home energy costs. River Oaks Center, our innovative commercial center, is San Luis Obispo County’s first commercial building to receive a Gold pre-certification from the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED-CS) Core & Shell green building rating system.

Sustainability and natural resource conservation are foremost in the planning and design of River Oaks. The community is designed based on LEED Neighborhood Development principles, which recognizes projects that successfully protect and enhance the overall health, natural environment and quality of life in communities.

While we will continue to grow and build new neighborhoods, our commitment to the community will not change. Land and natural resources are irreplaceable and our dedication to the environment is steadfast.
