BRADENTON — The U.S. Green Building Council named Koral and Gobuty Development Co. LLC of Bradenton an outstanding single-family developer.

Koral and Gobuty Development, which developed the 55-plus Bradenton community of Mirabella, tied with John Marshall Custom Homes of Davidson, N.C. for the award.

The Bradenton developer was also named a LEED Homes Power Builder. That award recognizes an “elite group of developers and builders that have exhibited an outstanding commitment to LEED and the green building movement within the residential sector,” a statement says.

The Mirabella neighborhood has 160 paired villas. It was built on an abandoned golf course in an established neighborhood. Green building practices used include improved stormwater management to reduce flooding and enhanced retention and treatment of runoff water, a press release says.

The award was part of the organization's annual LEED Home Awards, which recognize projects, architects, developers and homebuilders who have demonstrated “outstanding leadership and innovation in the residential green building marketplace,” according to a statement.

Recipients include multifamily, single-family and affordable housing projects and companies that prioritized incorporating sustainability in projects in 2016.
