SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Phinney Design Group announced last week the groundbreaking of a sustainable residential development in Saratoga Springs that aims to set “a new benchmark for eco-friendly living.”
The new Riley Farms development is designed to integrate green technology, such as solar energy, geothermal heating and cooling, and advanced clean air systems, to create energy-efficient homes on a 30-acre nature preserve. Each home in the development will be designed with passive solar principles, high-performance insulation, and responsibly-sourced materials.
“This project is not just about building homes; it’s about staying true to our principles and creating a future where sustainable living is the standard, not the exception,” said Mike Phinney, founding principal architect at Phinney Design Group, in a news release.
“I didn’t want just another cookie cutter development,” said Riley Farms Owner and Developer Kenneth Scott. “We wanted to create a community of unique homes, as works of art.”
With construction already underway, the first homes are expected to be move-in ready by late 2025 or early 2026.
