Wilshire Homes
Austin, TX (June 20, 2012) - From a covered back patio overlooking a scenic golf course, to a gourmet kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, Wilshire Homes’ new Oak Creek model in the Round Rock community of Teravista has plenty of bells and whistles.
But the most unique feature of this 3,574-square-foot home is its status as the first LEED-certified home completed by a volume builder in the Austin region. It is open to the public as a decorated model home in the new Fairway Estates neighborhood in Teravista, a 1,550-acre master-planned community located at I-35 North and University Blvd. LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a rating system for the design, construction and operation of high performance green homes and buildings developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). This Wilshire home received its official LEED certification plaque from the USGBC Central Texas-Balcones Chapter in a recent ceremony attended by officials from that local chapter, along with Williamson County Commissioner Valerie Covey and representatives from Wilshire Homes and Newland Communities, the developer of Teravista.
