e group welcomes the 2009 Greenbuild Expo to Phoenix!


As e group welcomes the 2009 Greenbuild Expo to Phoenix we proudly announce having made great strides to drastically reduce our physical office space and become a more virtual effort focused on green economy service. We've begun to diminish our carbon foot print by reducing commuting, office scale, and associated utilities etc. Improvements include a leaner, meaner attitude when it comes to producing paper, reducing weekly commutes for some employees from 300 miles to 40 and using technology to reduce our overall carbon emissions. We are excited to lead the change in green planning, sustainable development, green infrastructure, and carbon neutral communities.

Exerpt from article:
"Newport City is a sprawling development with few buildings and a large portion of land dedicated for the parks and resort – a complete hideaway in the city. To fulfill the experience, EGroup – the architectural consultant of the structure, gave focus in its landscape structure which plays an important role yet preserves its corporate appeal. The landscape fabric ties the different areas together ultimately providing that resort experience."
