Since its inception, Gables Takoma Park was developed

under the guidelines of the LEED certification program.

However, additional programs and efforts are in place to

ensure that constant environmental standards are followed.

why leed is the standard.Sustainable green building and development practices in cooperation with the creation of

universally accepted tools and performance criteria are the objective of the Leadership in

Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). This certification program is sponsored by a

third party organization and is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design,

construction and operation of high performance green buildings. The LEED program is

a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing

performance in key areas of human environmental health,

such as sustainable site development, energy efficiency,

water savings, material selection and environmental quality.

This established standard is utilized by a variety of

professionals to provide the most researched and

available criteria to any development whose main goal

is environmental accountability.

From the Brochure in Your Hand, to

On-Going Community Efforts, Our

Environment is Paramount.

Gables Takoma Park is committed to a more environmentally

conscious atmosphere. This brochure, for instance, is FSC

Certified. The Forest Stewardship Council represents the

world’s strongest system for guiding forest management

toward responsible outcomes. Applied in over 57 countries

worldwide, it ensures all operations encourage the efficient

use of the forest’s multiple products. Monitoring efforts

secure ongoing conservation plans and promote

restoration of natural forests.

A certain percentage of papers are recycled from used

wood elements and combined with FSC Certified products

in order to reclaim material. Soy-based inks are utilized

during the printing process as an alternative to oil based

inks and a reduced amount of ink is used overall during

the process for responsible conservation.

Fsc certiFied From the forests, to the paper mills, to the printer… Each stage is under the watchful eye of the program. The printer and paper must be FSC certified.

certiFied Printing papers comprised in the

collateral materials are also Green

certification process evaluates paper

production beginning with material

extraction, manufacturing, and ending

with recycling and disposal. This

involves rigorous onsite testing and

ongoing plant visits.

histOric charm cOmbined with

eclectic individuality.

The City of Takoma Park was founded in 1883 and was Washington DC’s first planned commuter

suburb. In the early 1900’s, the city was noted for its healthful qualities with a 350 feet elevation

and the clean water supply from Sligo Creek. By the 1960s, the city gained the name of “Azalea

City” for the delicate multi-colored flowers that began to enhance the landscape.

Its rich heritage has attracted a diverse population of writers, musicians and artists. The residents

of Takoma Park usually enjoy community awareness with a host of neighborhood events.

Takoma Park is considered a “sanctuary city” and an official “Tree City, USA”. It is a nuclear-free

zone and has won numerous awards for its recycling program. Historic preservation is important

to the area with focused efforts to maintain Takoma’s colorful past.

Old Takoma is a quaint scenic downtown area with eclectic shops, restaurants and businesses. It

is a picturesque town of unique eateries from around the world. Shops offer a convenient

variety of services. It is not uncommon to enjoy the music of a street festival while searching for

the sweetest apples at the outdoor farmer’s market.

Bordering Takoma is Silver Spring. This community is a

distinctive mix of old and new while undergoing a

significant renaissance with posh shopping,

dining, performance halls and cinemas.

Notable employers include Discovery

Communications world headquarters.
