Providence, a master-planned community in the northwestern Las Vegas Valley, is designed to protect the environment, according to developer Focus Property Group. Several builder partners with that same approach are opening homes there.
"When we designed Providence, it was our goal to create a truly environmentally conscious master plan, not only in our shady, lush and colorful water efficient landscape planted throughout the project, but also in our builder's homes," said John A. Ritter, chairman and chief executive officer of the development company. "Our builders have truly stepped up to the plate to help us meet that goal, and as a result, our residents will enjoy a community that not only looks great and provides a high quality of life to its residents, but is also water and energy efficient."
