Sustainable building and living

Scandia's Mission is Sustainable

To live and work in a manner which sustains the environment. To profitably better the lives of the people who live in, work in or use our product and the people who create and build the product.

I grew up on the beautiful Hudson River just north of New York City. As a kid I remember my mother and I netting blue crabs by the bushel, my uncles netting shad for sale in New York City, catching striped bass in the spring and sturgeon thru the ice in winter.

I remember car races on the frozen surface. When I left all that was gone. The fish and crabs all but disappeared. The Hudson barely froze in the winter. The Hudson’s environment was altered. It was unintentional of course, we saw the wild Hudson as limitless, taking all that we could dump into her and around her. It wasn't until the River Keepers came along that the river began to heal. I saw firsthand the effect man can have on the environment.

This is why we build Green to respect nature, "our lives may depend on it. "

We Know What it Means to Build

This is Scandia's 25th building year. From Connecticut, New York and Virginia, from large custom homes to unique town homes, we now exclusively do Green Building.

Scandia's most recent project is the award winning town homes at Rocketts Landing. Built on a former manufacturing site these homes are certified Green by EarthCraft of Virginia and Energy Star. These town homes feature vegetated Green Roofs and a host of energy saving and healthy indoor air quality features. They are 42 % more energy efficient than the standard built home and they are unique in the mid-Atlantic region.

Scandia Creates homes and communities that make life easier, healthier, more comfortable and compliment the environment.
