'Green' buildings are good for the environment but increasingly good for your pocket too. As well as saving you money on energy costs, commentators are predicting that you'll soon find green living will attract a premium price when you come to sell.
Forte's green initiatives include laminated glass for improved insulation, a centralised hotel style gas hot water system so each apartment is not maintaining a water cylinder, therefore reducing power consumption costs and a recycling system for minimising waste output.
