- Regis Homes of Northern California will open the sales office of its new Palo Alto town home project, Altaire, on Saturday, August 16th. This unique collection of 96 lifestyle town homes is part of a 12-acre site that includes the Taube-Koret Campus, a $270 million multi-generational living and recreational center slated for completion in the fall of 2009.

Designed by the award winning Steinberg Group, Altaire's two and three story town homes with up to four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms include the most contemporary architecture paired with the latest interior finishes. Priced starting from the high $700,000's, Altaire will provide new homeowners an ideal urban living arrangement with spacious patios. Along with its modern design,

Altaire offers cutting-edge technology to satisfy residents' needs. With all units connected to fiber optic cable lines, residents can utilize the high speed Internet and digital phone connection upon move-in.

Each measure of aesthetic in Altaire is designed to meet the strict standards of the Department of Energy's Energy Star program for buildings and be Green Point Rated by Build it Green, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting healthy, energy and resource efficient building practices. Included are Energy Star appliances and Anderson high performance dual pane windows, all which help the buildings exceed California's Title 24 Energy Code by 15%. Indoor air quality includes CRI Green Label Plus carpeting and formaldehyde free insulation. Sensitive to its exterior environment, Altaire offers beautiful landscape architecture with drought tolerant plants, and a water conserving irrigation controller alongside a home and community recycling infrastructure.

Altaire provides access to a complete community experience because of its ideal location in south Palo Alto. The newly constructed town homes provide a low-maintenance lifestyle that allows families to enjoy their surrounding environment. With the close proximity of high-ranking schools, major shopping centers, and Palo Alto's vibrant downtown, Altaire offers desirable opportunities for families to live in the Palo Alto community.

A unique benefit of Altaire is its immediate access to the adjacent Oshman Family JCC that will be completed in 2009. The campus will provide a community center with a public pool, spa, fitness facilities, sports field, educational programs, and a preschool.
