From a recent email sent by Arterra, a new development in Mission Bay:

Hurry in, $8,000 Federal Tax Credit expiring soon!

If you missed out on California’s $10,000 tax credit, don’t miss the $8,000 federal first-time buyer tax credit too! Time is winding down and the program ends in just four short months. This means buyers need to be CLOSED on their homes by November 30th, 2009 in order to receive the tax break.

With prices starting from the $500,000s, Arterra offers outstanding value, and many homes offer city and water views. Officially the first LEED-Silver certified high rise in the City, Arterra features many unique green and sustainable attributes and is a great example of how sustainability does not have to come at the expense of amenities and value.

Arterra LEED-Silver attributes include:

• Increased use of recycled materials
• Innovative uses for end of lifecycle resources
• Increased diversion of waste to landfills
• Sod-covered “living” rooftops to help reduce heating and cooling costs
• Renewable materials in the building’s public spaces
• Energy Star appliances in every home
• Building exterior covered in Trespa, a material made from end of lifecycle recycled materials
