The Residences at Central Park project by Amexon Development Corporation has won the coveted IPAX Americas Property Award for “Best Sustainable Residential Development” in Canada.
The globally-recognized IPAX Americas Awards honour outstanding achievements across the real estate sector from nine global regions, awarding projects that exemplify innovation, superior quality, and environmental responsibility.
Amexon’s award-winning Residences at Central Park in Toronto —a 12-acre master-planned community of five towers— contains numerous green technology measures, some of which include:
In the building:
• Vegetated roofs reduce energy consumption and absorb rainwater
• Photovoltaic modules supplement the building’s power needs
• High-performance thermal building envelope minimizes unwanted solar gain and heat loss
• Over 1,500 electric car charging stations service every parking space, including visitor parking spaces, a first in North America
• Energy-efficient LED light fixtures and motion sensors in corridors and common areas
• Intelligent building automation system for heating and cooling controls in common areas
• Next-generation building mechanical systems feature improved air flow and HEPA filtration systems
• Central building water filtration system
• On-site car-share service and bicycle-share service
• Convenient access to transit
In each suite:
• Individually metered electrical and water usage provide control over consumption and water-wise fixtures for showers, sinks and dual-flush toilets
• Individually controlled and programmable comfort systems to control heating and cooling from smartphone
• Low-voc finishes and significant use of hard-surface flooring for easy maintenance
“The Award is a testament to our ongoing commitment to sustainability and forward-thinking design,” said Ashling Evans, General Manager of Real Estate at Amexon Development Corporation.
The Residences at Central Park also recently won the Ontario Home Builders’ Association’s Project of the Year (People’s Choice Award) and named a finalist for the BILD Green Builder of the Year and the OHBA Green Building of the Year.
The project seamlessly integrates with the adjacent East Don Parkland to create a mixed-use community that represents the future of sustainable urban living in North America. centralparktoronto.com
