By brian, Posted to Green the Grid - Eco Blog  Mar 10 2008
9onF sets a trend in a green building and construction with the first Sacramento LEED-for-homes achieving a new and dynamic urban density with beautifully rendered tonwhouses from architect Ron Vrilakas and developer Jeremy Drucker.

Hey there Midtowners, Downtowners, and other Gridsters,
