The NetWork Building by Entegrity Energy Partners located in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

The ULI case studies site showcases member projects and developments that are especially innovative in their approach and that employ best practices in real estate and urban development. This site provides a wide range of information on a variety of development project types, all in one searchable format. Longer format case studies, and shorter “briefs” include details on the development process, financial data, lessons learned, and site photos.  

Developers, architects, consultants, public officials, and investors looking for new ideas, practical guidance, and inspiration when undertaking new development projects can all benefit from the site. Case studies also make for excellent educational tools for professors, students, young professionals, community groups, and anyone interested in learning about the development and land use process. By providing an inside look at the ideas and strategies used to develop exemplary projects, ULI case studies can be invaluable for aspiring and veteran land use professionals of all types.   

ULI has published its first deal profile featuring a net zero building–The NetWork Building by Entegrity Energy Partners located in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Entegrity Energy Partners—an energy services, sustainability, and solar development company—developed a net zero commercial office space for company use, along with 28 market-rate apartments in downtown Fayetteville.

This structure combines Entegrity’s new office building with 28 market-rate apartments to form a three-story mixed-use development. An initial goal of this project was to achieve net zero; beyond wanting to ensure that their offices were as green as possible, they also had a goal of leading by example. By using simple design and off-the-shelf technologies, Entegrity was able to enhance the building’s efficiency while keeping costs down. They achieved net zero energy through thoughtful passive design and on-site solar panels, including bifacial modules as awnings.
