iPort (www.iportmusic.com), the company which introduced the worlds first in-wall music system for the Apple iPod®, is becoming an important add-on feature for new homebuilders across the country. Recently, Holliday Development installed 20 in-wall iPorts into their Blue Star Corner Homes in Emeryvile, CA.

Distinguished as the “New Urban Home”, Blue Star Corner provides the best of townhouse living to a trendy, urban community. Following the concept of the Borneo Sporenburg in Amsterdam, each of these homes remain unique with a keen focus towards natural light, openness, landscaping, and upscale designed interiors that meet today’s fast-paced, modern lifestyle.

Blue Star Corner has created a solution that makes in-roads between luxury and green living. Recognized as such, this complex is green certified by the United States Green Building Council’s LEED for Homes pilot program that calls for a national standard for acceptable green building practices.

Besides the iPort, additional amenities of the Blue Star Corner Homes that speak to the needs of today’s lifestyle include: a hidden charging station in the kitchen for phones, extra work space in the garage, cameras, mp3 players, spa-like bathrooms, green building practices, and an abundance of outdoor space.

Buzz Delano, business development consultant for iPort said, “Blue Star Corner is an ideal environment for an in-wall iPort. It offers the residents an elegant, space-saving iPod playback and charging station that easily connects to their own audio components and speakers. In these modern homes, use of space needs to be efficient while maintaining a proper design aesthetic and iPort makes this possible.”
