The gold level is the highest level of certification and is reserved for projects complying with Audubon International 's exact standards.

In the last several years, Viridian is one of the largest infill master planned communities in the country. Viridian offers homes priced from the $180s to over $1 million, offering a broad range of home types, including town homes, zero lot line homes, and detached single family and estate homes.

"Viridian represents our commitment to creating communities while preserving and honoring the environment, " said Robert Kembel, president of JCKPL. "We are very pleased to have earned Gold Audubon International Signature Sanctuary certification and are proud they have recognized the time and work we have invested in building a community like Viridian, " he continued.
