Avion Burbank—which has earned LEED Gold—is redefining the local business market in Burbank, California. The masterplan environment consists of 17 buildings spanning over a million square feet of creative industrial, office, retail, and hospitality. In addition to going above and beyond to reduce water-energy consumption, this project designed amenities for the modern professional lifestyle at the intersection of live, work, play with outdoor recreation and green spaces that cater to humans and their pets.
Innovation to reduce its energy footprint includes: on-site solar, smart meters, electric vehicle charging stations for cars and installed at truck bays, reflective roofing materials and hardscaping, efficient plumbing, and irrigation systems.
Innovation was also applied to designing amenities for fostering a modern, healthy, community-oriented lifestyle. Features that were implemented include walking and bike paths, a dog park, outdoor meeting areas, and additional parking near the Metrolink to motivate public transportation use.
