Loveland’s Award Winning Senior Community
At the May, 2013 conference of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) the Mirasol Senior Community, Phase II Apartment building won a state award for its “Green Build” design.

- GEO-THERMAL HEAT EXCHANGE (BOTH HEATING & COOLING SYSTEM)

- ENERGY STAR RATED APPLICANCES AND LIGHT FIXTURES
- SOLAR TUNED WINDOWS
- NO VOC EMISSIONS
