Avion Burbank case study

Avion’s Sustainability & Wellness Features

  • Avion is a joint project between Overton Moore Properties and Invesco Real Estate

  • The courtyard provides occupants with outdoor amenities for social gathering and recreation

  • Tree-lined exterior, drought-tolerant plants, and mulch covering sequester atmospheric carbon which improves air quality; as trees mature, the shade canopy cools the ground reducing urban heat island effect while providing habitats for wildlife

  • Campus aerial: 17 buildings

  • Rooftop solar: photovoltaic renewable energy system offsets 18% of project's annual energy consumption

  • Front entry art structure is a nod to the Burbank airport; 'avion' translates to 'airplane' in French

  • Curb cuts is a water recycling strategy to collect rainfall and re-use for irrigating landscapes, rather than using potable water
