Tanner Office Building Ground Breaking

PHC Construction Breaks Ground on New building built to LEED Gold Standards in Kingston, WA – Ground Breaking on Tuesday, March 27^th – 10.30am.  All are invited.

March 21, 2012, (Kingston, WA) – Tuesday, March 27, 2012 marks the ground breaking for a new Office Building at 11175 NE East 2^nd Street in Kingston, WA.  PHC, in partnership with Doug Ferguson and Tanner Development, LLC, will begin removing the existing building after a small ceremony centered around Ferguson’s 7-year-old grandson.  All are invited to this community event.

The new building, which is to house the offices of Western Experts, a national transportation insurance wholesaler, will be built to LEED Gold standards as set forth by the USGBC.  The project will incorporate many green building features including rain gardens, for surface water run-off and WA made solar modules from Itek Energy, that will feed excess power back into the PSE grid.  PHC is working directly with Puget Sound Energy to reach maximum sustainability for the project.  By using less energy and water, LEED certified buildings save money for families, businesses and taxpayers; reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and contribute to a healthier environment for workers.

 “The green building movement offers an unprecedented opportunity to respond to the most-important challenges of our time, including global climate change, dependence on non-sustainable and expensive sources of energy and threats to human health,” said Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO & Founding Chair, U.S. Green Building Council.
