NBC10 Philadelphia Features Largest GreenGrid^® Roof—2.3 Acres

The 2.3 acre, extensive GreenGrid^® roof will be placed atop a significant portion of the new Court at Upper Providence shopping center in Upper Providence Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Project developers committed to using a green roof system to minimize the stormwater runoff and associated impacts on the surrounding watershed from these buildings.

Occupants will also benefit from potential energy savings during hot summer months when the GreenGrid^® system keeps the roof cooler than exposed roof surface. “On a tar roof you're going to get about 160 degrees Fahrenheit and on a GreenGrid^® roof about 80/85 degrees.” stated WESTON Project Manager Chris Dorman during an interview with NBC10 Philadelphia atop the green roof.

“The Court,” a joint venture of two Montgomery County based developers, Gambone Development, Inc. and The Highland Development Group, Ltd., is a new 400,000-square-foot retail center designed by Architectural Concepts, LLP. Store anchors include Staples, Ross, A.C. Moore and Petco.
