SEATTLE, June 29, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today Sustainable Living Innovations (SLI) announced that it had installed the final steel beam and manufactured building panel for its 15-story, 112-unit apartment building under construction in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. SLI installed the first steel beams and panels in October 2021.
SLI’s patent-protected technology platform is a new way to build, using wall and floor panels that are manufactured with electrical wiring, plumbing, mechanical and fire safety equipment pre-installed. By designing and manufacturing buildings as a product similar to cars and airplanes, SLI’s high-rise buildings go up faster and meet the world’s highest standards of sustainability.
"This is an important milestone for sustainability, our company, our employees, our investors and so many others who have supported us," said Arlan Collins, CEO of SLI. "303 Battery is tangible proof that we can achieve the highest levels of sustainability using our technology."
The installation crew, SLI employees, investors and other partners signed the beam and panel before the tower crane swung both of the building’s final structural pieces into place.
Carrie Cassidy, Chief Construction Officer of SLI said, "It’s been a lot of hard work to have reached this point. My deepest thanks to our dedicated team of partners who made this day possible."
303 Battery will be the world’s first multifamily tower to meet the stringent net zero energy requirements set by the International Living Future Institute’s Living Building Challenge program, the same organization that certified Seattle’s Bullitt Center. Features include solar on the building’s roof, exterior walls and balconies in each unit, greywater and waste heat recovery systems, ultra-efficient hydronic heating and cooling systems, regenerative elevator motors, distributed DC power systems, and SLI’s advanced network systems and data management platform to ensure optimal building operations.
303 Battery will be completed in December, with tenants anticipated to move into the building early 2023.
303 Battery includes approximately 900 panels that were manufactured in SLI’s Tacoma, Washington facility and are being assembled on site. Ten primary panel types were used in the construction of 303 Battery, with panels for walls, floors, and ceilings of each room – living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom – and specialized elevator panels.

Revolution Wind LLC now has the green light to land its undersea power transmission cable at the Port of Davisville in North Kingstown. The 704-megawatt project planned for federal waters 15 miles off the coast of Rhode Island is a joint venture between Ørsted — the Danish energy giant — and Eversource Energy (NYSE: ES). The project owners plan to sell electricity to utilities in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
SunPower slid on Wednesday after shares of the solar panel company were initiated at Underweight by a Wells Fargo analyst who cited unsupportive U.S. solar policies and a slowing housing market. Michael Blum from Wells Fargo wrote in a research note that the slowing housing market was “likely to affect new solar sales.” “SunPower’s business is mostly direct sales, which we view as more sensitive to the economic environment given the large upfront cost of purchasing a solar rooftop system,” Blum said.

Looking to avoid power blackouts, California may turn to the one energy source it's otherwise desperate to get rid of: fossil fuels. A sweeping energy proposal Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Thursday puts the state in the business of buying power to ensure there's enough to go around during heat waves that strain the grid. The debate highlights the challenge some states are facing as they scramble to address heat waves fueled by climate change without compromising on their pledges to transition to non-fossil fuel energy sources like solar and wind.

As the painful first half of 2022 ends, many income investors are hoping for some sort of relief.
