This project has received some great reviews and interest from around the country. The concept of Urban Courtyard Living has to be experienced to appreciate it. The effort to utilize green building initiatives and develop this location so close to one of the most eclectic neighborhoods in the state, and the pure passion for creating a group of properties " with purpose" has been explored by many. ...a pioneer among women developers by Pete MillardRaising Kane by Janet RaaschGreen Roof Tops for Kane Commons by Michael HorneKane Commons: Green Development....by Jim LoewRENTAL

Water Conservation/Reduction of Storm Water RunoffThe soil in green roof systems acts like a sponge and absorbs excess rain water. Research has shown that extensive green roof systems can reduce runoff by up to 90+% annually (varies with climate, soil and pitch of roof).Green roofs reduce the impact of each new building on the municipal storm drainage system and surrounding watershed. They reduce flooding, erosion and artificial heating of water which helps preserve fisheries and other aquatic life.Green roofs reduce the need for on-site storm water management systems and according to Seattle based Magnusson Klemencic Associates, under certain conditions, can offset the cost of a green roof by 30 to 60%. When combined with an effective rain garden (bioswale), green roofs can make it possible to have zero discharge of rainwater from the site, therefore saving money by not having to connect to the storm sewer system.Green roofs filter water prior to returning it to the aquifer. They buffer acid rain and remove nitrate pollution as water slowly percolates through the soil.What runoff remains will usually occur hours after peak flows, providing additional time for sewer systems to handle the runoff burden from impervious surfaces. Habitat RecreationPlants and soil help recreate habitat for butterflies, insects, and songbirds.Conservation of Municipal Septic SystemsSponging up excess rainwater means municipal septic systems do not have to be expanded as much. It also means reduced overflows as well as reduced pollution and associated costs.Extension of Roof LifePlants and soil act as a protective shield from the elements. This means:•No U.V. radiation/photo degradation of roofing components.•Minimal thermal contraction and expansion (green roofs can reduce temperature fluctuations by as much as 90%). Studies show that on a sunny 95°F day, conventional rooftop surfaces can reach 175°F. •Green roofs bring these temperatures in line with the ambient air temperature.•Protection from drying winds.•Protection from mechanical damage.•Reduction or elimination of cracks and leaks.•Potential 200% - 300% extension of membrane •life expectancy.Energy ConservationThe evapotranspirative effect of the plants and four inches of growing medium typically reduces indoor temperatures 6 to 8 degrees during warm/hot weather and can reduce air-conditioning costs 25 to 50 percent in single story buildings. This not only allows for ongoing cost savings but an initial reduction in the size of the required air conditioning equipment.Minimal insulation (R-Value) exists during cool or winter weather. The pore space of the growing medium tends to be more water saturated at this time, and the plants wont be as large and therefore will not trap as much air (essential to insulation value). But, in snowy winter locations, the vegetation helps to trap blowing snow which adds insulation value.

NEIGHBORHOOD

Two blocks North of the eclectic and ethnic, historic Brady Street

Kane Commons: The centerpiece is a Courtyard -- the Commons -- a place for reflection and activity where fragrant herbs and rare specimen plants bloom along stone pathways studded with ancient boulders that provide a sculptural delight as the sun casts its ever-changing rays. Yet you would never know that you are mere steps away from a bustling city while you are in your Kane Commons reverie. But the excitement of Brady Street -- or the deep solitude of the Milwaukee Riverway -- are mere steps away. Kane Commons is within easy walking distance of the principal attractions of the Milwaukee metropolitan area. Here you will find a world of attractions including scores of restaurants, night spots, specialty grocers, museums, and immediate access to the city’s central business district.
