Emser Tile Contributes to "High-Rise of the Year": The EnV Project in Chicago

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Emser Tile, a premier designer and marketer of floor, wall, counter tile and natural stone continues its growth in the Multi-Family Housing (MFH) industry.

Emser was the key supplier of the tile and stone materials used in the EnV Project, which won the 2011 "High-Rise of the Year" award from MultiFamily Executive.  EnV is a 29-story, 249-unit luxury apartment tower that is located in the River North section of Chicago across from the Merchandise Mart.  EnV was recognized for its trendy and energy-efficient design and is one of the first LEED-certified apartment buildings in Chicago.

Multi-family housing market continues to grow due to more foreclosures pushing former homeowners into the rental markets. The renter demand is approaching a record high this year.  "Emser is furnishing many of the new developments and renovations of the existing buildings and will continue to expand its presence in the Multi-family segment of the market," says Shawn Ghodsian, Director of Commercial Sales at Emser Tile.

Emser Tile will be presenting its complete line of products next week at the Surfaces Show 2012 which will take place on January 24-26th, 2012, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV.   Emser's booth number is B4215, Exhibit Halls BaySide A-D section.
