Condominium Delivers on Energy Efficiency and Occupant Comfort
Rising above Toronto’s Bayside community, a mixed-use neighbourhood on the shore of Lake Ontario, stands the 14-story Aquabella condominium development. The 290,626 ft2 (27,000 m2), 174-suite concrete building is the third of four planned Bayside condominiums developed by real-estate firms Hines and Tridel.
The developers are aiming for LEED Platinum Certification, as well as compliance with Toronto Green Standard (TGS) requirements. In effect since 2010, the TGS sets tiered energy, emissions, and sustainability benchmarks for new buildings to support Toronto’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.
