Environmentally friendly, energy-saving efforts include:
- Reduced carbon footprint through locally sourced building materials, with CityCenter of CityNorth® built from a portion of materials extracted, processed and manufactured within 500 miles of Phoenix
- Reduced construction waste, with 75 percent of materials used during construction being recycled and diverted from landfills
- Low-E glass and exterior sun shades, minimizing heat absorption and reducing energy consumption
- Low-volatile organic compound (VOC) products to reduce the threat of indoor air contaminants
- Water-efficient landscaping and reclaimed trees and saguaro cacti saved during construction for use in future landscaping
- Light-pollution reductions
- Business and resident recycling programs
- The scale and diversity of the development reduces the need for vehicular traffic, encouraging day-to-day pedestrian activity
- A bicycle network with racks throughout the development, as well as on-site employee showers to encourage the use of alternate modes of transportation
- Restroom fixtures that save more than 8.2 million gallons of water annually
