SATORI SPONSORS CLIMATE CHANGE EXHIBIT AT MUSEUM OF DISCOVERY AND SCIENCE
Green Oriented Luxury Rental Community Now Under Construction in Ft. Lauderdale

Ft. Lauderdale, FL (November 20, 2008) – Satori, an eco-friendly rental community, is a co-sponsor of the multimedia Climate Change Show at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS) in Ft. Lauderdale. The sponsorship is a natural fit for Satori, a 279-unit luxury rental community at 1201 E. Sunrise Boulevard in Ft. Lauderdale. Altman Development has put environmental concerns at the forefront of the community by including “green” features from the ground up.

“We realize the importance of doing our share to stop global climate change and have integrated a green philosophy throughout Satori,” said Satori developer Joel Altman, CEO of Altman Development. “Educating people about the threat of global climate change is critical to stopping it, which is why we are proud to sponsor this exhibit.”

The exhibit provides a one-of-a-kind multimedia experience that explores the effects of global warming and tests visitors’ knowledge of how climate change affects their daily lives. Magnificent environmental effects include recreating weather and climate changes inside the museum. MODS is located at 401 SW 2nd St. in Ft. Lauderdale, and the exhibit runs through January 11, 2009.

At Satori, Altman has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to aid in saving our planet while offering an extensive list of eco-friendly features such as a chlorine-free  pool, solar power assisted common area lighting, zero VOC-emitting carpet and paints, high-efficiency air conditioning, programmable thermostats, energy-efficient stainless steel appliances, and front loading washers and dryers. These features leave a smaller carbon footprint and residents save money on energy costs, as well. Starting at the construction phase, they have included features such as retaining and treating on-site storm water to re-charge the aquifer, solar roof systems that reduce the use of fossil fuels for common area lighting, and using concrete pavers made from recycled content.

Satori is the first rental community in Florida to offer apartment customization in a rental community. Residents who lease early can select their choice of granite counter tops, designer tile or bamboo floor covering and accent paint color from styles chosen by renowned interior designer Steven G. The bamboo flooring option, a renewable resource, is a popular green feature and the carpets are all made of recycled eco-friendly material.

Meaning “awakening” in Japanese, Satori offers residents a zen-like, tranquil setting amidst an urban village with amenities only found in the most luxurious of homes. Satori, centrally located on 5.7 acres, is a lushly landscaped, mixed-use, pet-friendly community comprised of four elevator buildings ranging from five to nine stories. Exciting public spaces include a dramatic 8,000 square-foot 2-story clubhouse complete with a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga studio, spa treatment rooms, club room with demonstration kitchen, game room with billiards, wine lockers, cigar humidors and Wi-Fi throughout. The sumptuous pool terrace is reminiscent of a high-end resort with a heated infinity-edge pool, whirlpool spa, waterfall cascade, and cabanas. There will also be a Gazebo Sports Bar by the pool with five HDTVs. Courtyards with fountains and water features, a meditation garden, a “bark park” for pets, a five-story gated parking garage and 12,149 square-feet of convenient retail space complete the community.

Conveniently located to downtown, area beaches and directly across from Holiday Park with wonderful tennis courts, jogging trails and sports fields, Satori offers the best of the urban lifestyle with all the amenities of gracious living.
