Built to Certified Passive House Standards
Also referred to as a ‘high-performance sustainable building,’ The Heights will be over 90% 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 6-storey, 60,000+ square feet, mixed-use development includes retail-commercial uses on the ground floor with 85 residential market rental units on the 5 storey’s above.
High-Performance Features & Finishes
In the quest to achieve net-zero energy efficient, The Heights features ultra-quiet interiors with triple-glaze 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% lower heating costs.
