At PN Hoffman we strive to find innovative ways to give our residents the ultimate “Fine Urban Living™” experience. As part of this mission, PN Hoffman embraces the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building rating system. As Monty Hoffman, our CEO, said best “if it is good for the environment, it is good for the residents.” It is this environmentally conscious mindset that drives PN Hoffman’s goal of “Healthy Living through Healthy Design.” PN Hoffman leads the industry once again with its development of The Alta at Thomas Circle, which will be one of the first LEED-Certified condominium buildings in the District.  In our future properties, PN Hoffman is dedicated to the LEED’s program and green building features.
