What is Agriwild?
AGRIWILD© is the proprietary method utilized by Three Sixty to create healthy built environments for neighborhoods and communities. This holistic approach addresses various crucial elements: food sources for both humans and animals, site ecology, carbon sequestration, stormwater management, habitat creation, and the integration of natural, 'wild' elements into our developments. These combined efforts ensure a robust and healthy sense of place for residents and neighbors, promoting a lifestyle that is in harmony with nature.

Healthy Built Environments
At the heart of Agriwild is the creation of living spaces that enhance the health and well-being of both residents and the natural environment. Here’s how we achieve this:

Nature-Provoking Spaces: We design spaces that bring nature to the forefront, encouraging interactions with the environment. This includes everything from community gardens with composting facilities to replacing traditional sod lawns with prairie gardens and native landscaping. These elements provide not only aesthetic beauty but also functional benefits such as improved air quality and local biodiversity.

Walkability and Connectivity: We promote a lifestyle where residents can walk, bike, and explore their surroundings through thoughtfully designed trails and pathways. These connecting trails not only reduce the reliance on cars but also encourage a more active and healthy lifestyle.

Community Gardens: Our developments often feature community gardens where residents can grow their own food, engage with nature, and connect with each other. These gardens are more than just plots of land; they are hubs of community interaction and environmental stewardship.

Native Landscaping: By replacing traditional lawns with prairie gardens and native plants, we create a more sustainable and low-maintenance landscape that supports local wildlife and reduces the need for water and chemicals.

Sense of Place
Creating a strong sense of place is fundamental to our developments. This sense of place is cultivated through:

Fitness Centers and Communal Spaces: Our properties feature fitness centers and communal areas designed to foster social interactions and community bonding. These spaces are essential for residents to gather, socialize, and form lasting connections.

Engaging Amenities: We provide a range of amenities that encourage residents to interact with their environment and each other. Whether it’s through fitness activities or social events, these amenities enhance the overall living experience and strengthen the community fabric.

Site Ecology
Understanding and respecting the natural features of a site is crucial for sustainable development. Agriwild places a strong emphasis on:

Ecological Restoration: We carefully restore or preserve native vegetation and wildlife habitats around our developments. This approach not only protects local ecosystems but also creates a harmonious balance between urban and natural environments.

Biodiversity Support: By maintaining and enhancing native habitats, we support local biodiversity, ensuring that our developments contribute positively to the surrounding ecosystem.

Stormwater Management
Effective stormwater management is essential to preventing flooding and protecting our waterways from pollution. Our approach includes:

Permeable Pavements: These surfaces allow water to seep through, reducing runoff and minimizing the risk of flooding.

Biofiltration Systems: These systems filter pollutants from stormwater, ensuring that cleaner water returns to the environment.

Engineered Soils and Rain Gardens: These features are designed to absorb and filter stormwater, promoting natural infiltration and reducing the load on municipal systems.

Exceeding Requirements: Three Sixty goes above and beyond city regulations to maximize the effectiveness of our stormwater management practices, safeguarding our communities and waterways.

Habitat Creation
Urban development can disrupt local wildlife, but Agriwild strives to mitigate this through:

Wildlife Corridors: We design our developments to include pathways that allow wildlife to move safely through urban areas, maintaining their natural behavior and habitats.

Nesting Areas: By incorporating areas where animals can nest and thrive, we support local species and enhance the ecological value of our properties.

Conclusion
Agriwild embodies our commitment to creating sustainable, healthy, and vibrant communities. By integrating nature, thoughtful design, and community engagement, we ensure that our developments are more than just places to live— they are places to thrive. At Three Sixty, we are proud to lead the way in sustainable development, fostering a harmonious balance between people and the natural world.

Orange may be our company color, but we are very serious about Going Green! We see the forest for the trees and focus on sustaining long-term with long-lasting projects. Why? Because we don't just develop for the here and now, we create and manage our communities for future generations to come. We believe in the circle of life and are determined to do our part.

It's one thing to say you believe in sustainability, it's another to incorporate environmental components into each project. That's what we do at Three Sixty because it's the right thing to do as good stewards of our land. As developers and real estate owners, we realize these efforts are integral to the long-term financial value of our communities and for future generations. We make it a priority to manage all our properties with this same mindset.

Outside of focusing on sustainability within our projects, we want to give our residents the tools to live sustainably in their Three Sixty homes as well.

The Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center honored six recipients at its annual award presentation. The James P. Gallagher Award in Archaeology Excellence was presented to Three Sixty Real Estate Solutions, LLC for their due dilligence to not disturb any potential burial grounds on the site of the proposed Great River Residences. Three Sixty made sure to have an archaeologist on site in case anything was found during the remediation of the soils before the build. 
Thanksfully, nothing was found, but Three Sixty's dilligence brought attention to MVAC who appreciated the forward thinking and thoughtfulness Three Sixty had for their environment.

Students in the immersion program learn about Hmong culture, language and history. In the garden, they learn about how these vegetables are used in Hmong cuisine and work alongside elders in the Hmong community.

“This kind of space offers so many benefits,” Steinback said. “It provides fresh and local food for people while promoting physical activity, community and cross-cultural experiences. It is a win-win.”
