Built to Certified Passive House standards.
Also referred to as a ‘high-performance sustainable building,’ The Heights is over 90 per cent more energy efficient than a regular building. Designed to Certified Passive House standards, this development is built with a focus on sustainability and comfort, using the latest in design, technology, and construction methods, to maximize energy efficiency while providing the highest level of insulation and ventilation.
This six-storey, 60,000+ square foot mixed-use development includes retail-commercial uses on the ground floor with 85 residential market rental units on the five storeys above.
High-Performance Features & Finishes
In the quest to achieve net-zero energy efficiency, The Heights features ultra-quiet interiors with triple-glazed European tilt-and-turn windows. The building is designed with a high degree of comfort, featuring continuous fresh air circulation with an allergy-free energy-recovery air circulation system. The quiet and comfortable interiors result in 80 per cent lower heating costs.
