Green Ribbon for SoCo!
03.30.11
SoCo, one of our favorite new shopping centers in OC, has earned itself the Green Award by the Costa Mesa Planning Commission.
South Coast Collection “SoCo”, formerly known as South Coast Home Furnishings Center, was nominated after incorporating sustainable design practices into its overall plan for the shopping center.
Sustainable renovations included drought tolerant landscaping, water reclamation systems, energy efficient lighting, and (our favorite part) a weekly new Certified Farmers’ Market in Costa Mesa.
The newly opened ocmartMIX, located at the center, accomodates many stores in its large spaces and uses a significant amount of reclaimed wood and other materials in its design - all signs for the center point to a green ribbon!
SoCo "residents" Paul Mitchell the School, which opened last fall, developed a state of the art water reclamation system for its shampooing systems as wekk as for 50% of the irrigation water used for SoCo’s sustainable landscaping. The model is now being used in the design of future Paul Mitchell schools!
