CAPITOL HEIGHTS — Fitchburg, Wisconsin

Welcome to Capitol Heights. The Midwest’s very first and only fully Green Certified Community Development! Capitol Heights is a Green Certified Land Development. It scored 3 of 4 green stars on a nationally recognized scoring scale. One may ask, what is a Green Certified Land Development? A Certified Land Development is a Green Community as defined by the NAHB’s Green Certified Land Development and Building Standard, which means the development has gone the extra mile in providing the environmentally-conscious owner with a lot and home that have surpassed minimal levels of eco-friendly development and eco-friendly construction. The green level categories that were achieved by Capitol Heights make it simple for the homeowner to have the smallest possible impact on the natural environment.

What eco-friendly categories has Capitol Heights met?

· Lot Design Preparation and Development

· Local Vegetation Use and Wildlife Conservation

· Sustainable Landscaping with minimal slope disturbance

· Development near public amenities, many within walking or biking distance

· And others, too many to list. 

No one—developer, builder, homeowner—wants to harm or disturb the land any more than they have to. That’s why the goal of Capitol Heights is to connect the way we live with environmental stewardship. Big green building practices, low carbon footprints. 

These NAHB Green Certified Community and NAHB Green Certified Home designations, provided through TECO’s Green Verified expert staff, offer proof that this project will work with nature instead of fighting against it. Capitol Heights embraces these ideas and is a true model community not only for the City of Fitchburg or Wisconsin, but for the nation. It’s a neighborhood you can feel proud to call home knowing you are living the right way, every day! 

This site is made up of 35 single-family homes. All homes will be Green Certified, Energy Star™ Certified, embedded within wooded tree spaces, parks, walking paths, and have Capitol views. Come see—and then live—the difference!
