net-zero-ready”

The Tivoly Triangle Eco‑Village is a visionary, community-scale redevelopment in Baltimore that reimagines sustainable living through resilience, clean energy and equity. The project transforms a long-vacant land into a forward-looking residential eco-village designed to support homeownership while advancing Baltimore’s climate and sustainability goals.

At the heart of the Eco-Village is a community-scale microgrid, integrating on-site solar photovoltaic generation with battery energy storage to provide reliable, low-carbon power across the neighborhood. This microgrid approach is designed to enhance energy resilience during grid outages, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and stabilize long-term energy costs for residents. By operating as a coordinated energy system rather than individual, isolated buildings, the Tivoly Triangle Eco-Village demonstrates how distributed energy infrastructure can strengthen communities while supporting a cleaner and more flexible electric grid.

Sustainability is embedded throughout the project, from net-zero-ready, high-performance homes to walkable site planning, green spaces and a strong emphasis on environmental and social resilience. The Eco-Village model supports reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved indoor environmental quality and long-term operational efficiency, while also serving as a replicable framework for future urban redevelopment.

SETTY services include MEP/FP design for new construction of approximately 80 for-sale homes, including a mix of single-family detached residences and townhouses.

The master-planned community prioritizes low-carbon, energy-efficient housing integrated with pedestrian-friendly circulation and ample open space. This eco-village approach supports equitable access to resilient, energy-efficient homes while promoting durability, comfort and long-term performance for residents.
