In an era where health, affordability, and sustainability shape the built environment as much as they do public discourse, innovation plays an important role in the evolution of community amenities. Our Impact team has collaborated with sustainable technology pioneers, FarmBox Foods, to integrate a forward-thinking amenity at the community level: a Vertical Hydroponic Farm.
Unveiled in 2024 as The Barham Villas Community FarmBox, this on-site, self-sustaining agricultural system offers residents direct access to several harvests each year—providing an evolving selection of fresh produce at no cost. Beyond its immediate impact on food security and well-being, the initiative supports a collective ethos of sustainability. And, any unclaimed yield is donated to a local organization, ensuring that every item harvested goes to good use.

To foster a deeper sense of ownership and engagement among our residents, we created a dedicated identity for this amenity: The Barham Villas Community FarmBox. Today, our community leaders use each harvest as an opportunity to educate and inspire participation, offering branded produce bags and recipe cards that highlight the fresh, seasonal collection.
