The Ramona offers affordable, exceptional apartments large enough for families with children with extensive green building features in one of the best urban neighborhoods in Portland—close to grocery stores, parks, the streetcar, bike trails, and some of the city’s best public schools. The Ramona expects to achieve LEED-Gold certification. Green features include an ecoroof, courtyard filtration system, bioswales, rooftop solar hot water panels to produce almost half of the building’s hot water, photovoltaic panels to produce enough electricity to run elevators and light most hallways, and a state-of-the-art attic heat recovery system to capture and re-use 70%-80% of the heat from the exhaust system.
