who we are

Urban Rainforests

Our cities are interconnected, with a Rainforest on the roofs of the buildings. Living in an Urban Rainforests property means never worrying about power or water disruptions. During natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, floods, or forest fires, you can feel secure knowing that you and your home will remain safe. You won't experience any internal power, water, or internet outages within the Urban Rainforests properties.

Sustainable Build

Never worrying about power or water disruptions.

Renewable Energy

Our cities are interconnected with rooftop rainforests on buildings.

Urban Rainforests

Moving Human Civilization Forward

Urban Rainforest’s properties are a pollution-free environment. Solar and wind electricity generation is situated around the perimeter above the wildlife preserves, with Giga Pack Batteries and heat and chill sinks storing the energy. The forests located on the roof, on the 11th and 12th levels, filter the air, moderate temperatures, and protect the building, its residents, and guests. On the 5th Level of the Promenade, you will find shops, bakeries, restaurants, and businesses. Along the perimeter of the Village Promenade’s 5th Level, there are gardens for Master Gardeners and hobbyists, parks for walking and picnics, baseball diamonds, soccer fields, and more. These green spaces also contribute to air purification and temperature control. —- All spaces are equipped with HEPA-filtered air supply systems and numerous air quality detectors. They are engineered to meet PHIUS (Passive House Institute United States) energy and ventilation standards. All Urban Rainforest buildings are designed to surpass LEED Platinum and Living Building Challenge standards.

Accessibility

All public and common spaces are designed to meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards, while also adhering to Universal Design principles. Private residences and businesses are customized according to the preferences of their owners, drawing from the aforementioned standards. In public restrooms, there are private toilet/bidet stalls and shower stalls, each with floor-to-ceiling partitions and secure door latches. There are no urinals, and the wash basins are accessible to all genders.

Renewable Energy

Solar and wind electricity generation is situated along the perimeter, above the wildlife preserves. Mega batteries, as well as heat and chill sinks, are used to store the generated electricity. The buildings are designed to meet or surpass the energy-efficient standards of PHIUS, LEED, and the Living Building Challenge.

Water Purification

All rainwater that falls on the forested and vegetated roofs and green spaces is gathered and filtered to meet Virginia Public Utility drinking water standards. Water that doesn’t meet the criteria for drinking water filtration is directed to either the greywater collection sites or routed to soil filters. The treatment of drinking water and wastewater (blackwater) takes place on the 1st Level.

Sustainability

Transportation corridors (roads/highways) are situated inside the structure on the 3rd Level, significantly extending the lifespan of road and parking surfaces. These roads are made safer by several factors, including: No weather disruptions, such as wind, rain, snow, hail, or sleet. Absence of tornadoes, hurricanes, forest fires, flooding, or global winters. A smooth surface finish without potholes, manholes, or other road imperfections. Constant excellent visibility conditions. LED light bars on the ceiling indicating traffic conditions (green for clear, yellow for caution, red for stopped traffic). Extra-wide safety shoulders for easy vehicle accommodation and safe passenger egress to emergency exits. Emergency exits, safety/medical equipment, and evacuation routes every 2000 feet. One-way roads with no oncoming traffic. Three-dimensional traffic with no crossing roads, red lights, or stop signs, only yield signs at merging points. Four-lane roads with dedicated entrance and exit lanes. Strict allowance for only 100% electric vehicles on the property, with ICE recognition scanners to prevent internal combustion engine vehicles from entering the roadways. Provision of offsite guest parking and electric trams for guests with ICE vehicles until ICE vehicles are largely phased out. Additionally: All spaces have HEPA-filtered air supply and numerous air quality detectors. The 4th Level is dedicated to hydroponic gardens, producing plant-based food necessities in controlled environments. Pedestrian walkways and PEV ways (Personal Electric Vehicle pathways) are available on the 2nd, 5th, and 11th Levels, providing three-dimensional pedestrian transportation throughout the village. The 2nd Level serves as a manufacturing hub, producing necessary products using locally sourced raw materials. The 5th, 11th, and 12th Levels are filled with edible vegetation and plants to support local ecosystems.
